Woodward city, OK in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Woodward city is a mid-size town in Oklahoma, with 11,976 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #40 of 846 ranked by population — larger than 95% of them. The median age here is 35.1 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 Woodward city earn a median of $60,720 a year, 22.7% below the national figure of $78,538 and 13% above 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 12.9% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Woodward city is valued at $164,200, 45.9% below the national figure and 31% above the $125,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs $839 a month, 40.3% below the national figure, or roughly $10,068 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 16.6% 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 2.7×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 65.1% 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.
