Pocola town, OK in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Pocola town is a small town in Oklahoma, with 4,359 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #83 of 846 ranked by population — larger than 90% of them. The median age here is 42.5 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older profile than the country as a whole. At this population the ACS sample is small, so the margin of error around every dollar figure below is wide — treat the numbers as a band, not a point, and expect them to move between annual releases without the place itself changing.

Households in Pocola town earn a median of $48,333 a year, 38.5% below the national figure of $78,538 and 10% below the $53,500 median for the 240 Oklahoma cities we cover. This figure covers the household, not the worker: two people on ordinary wages at one address outrank a single professional in the same table. Poverty reaches 16.4% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Pocola town is valued at $134,200, 55.8% below the national figure and 7% above the $125,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs $747 a month, 46.9% below the national figure, or roughly $8,964 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 18.5% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is cheap relative to what people here earn. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 2.8×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 69.2% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

All values below were released by the Census for this exact geography, with no gap-filling on our side. Small-area estimates still carry wider margins of error than state or national figures, so check the linked ACS tables before relying on them for lending, appraisal or legal work.
