Wanette town, OK in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Wanette town is a very small community in Oklahoma, with 230 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #513 of 846 ranked by population — larger than 39% of them. The median age here is 41 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 Wanette town earn a median of $33,906 a year, 56.8% below the national figure of $78,538 and 37% 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 23% of residents here, well above the 12.4% national rate, which is the single clearest signal in this dataset that median income here is carried by a narrow band of households.

The typical owner-occupied home in Wanette town is valued at $95,000, 68.7% below the national figure and 24% below the $125,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs $425 a month, 69.8% below the national figure, or roughly $5,100 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 15% 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. 66% 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 230 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Wanette town against its county rather than against national figures.
