Tatums, OK population, income and ZIP codes

Tatums town is a very small community in Oklahoma, with 155 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #593 of 846 ranked by population — larger than 29% of them. The median age here is 38.2 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger 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 Tatums town earn a median of $38,750 a year, 50.7% below the national figure of $78,538 and 28% 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 14.8% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Tatums town is valued at $66,700, 78% below the national figure and 47% below the $125,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs $950 a month, 32.4% below the national figure, or roughly $11,400 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 29.4% 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 1.7×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so purchase prices are unusually low against local pay, the pattern in places where supply is plentiful and wage growth has been flat. 78.3% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Rent is reported gross — contract rent plus tenant-paid utilities — which is why it runs above the advertised price on a listing for the same unit.

With 155 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Tatums town against its county rather than against national figures.
