Skiatook city, OK in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Skiatook city is a mid-size town in Oklahoma, with 8,553 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #51 of 846 ranked by population — larger than 94% of them. The median age here is 37 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. Places under 65,000 residents only appear in the five-year release, never the one-year file, so these values pool sixty months of responses and lag the current year by design.

Households in Skiatook city earn a median of $55,444 a year, 29.4% below the national figure of $78,538 and 4% above the $53,500 median for the 240 Oklahoma cities we cover. The median is the midpoint household, not an average, so a handful of very high earners cannot drag it upward the way they distort a mean. Poverty reaches 11.4% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Skiatook city is valued at $168,600, 44.4% below the national figure and 34% above the $125,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs $956 a month, 32% below the national figure, or roughly $11,472 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 20.7% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is within the standard affordability guideline. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 66.4% 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.
