What it’s like
The place. Adair is a small town in Mayes County, Oklahoma, where most homes are lived in by their owners. Household incomes run well above the county's, though a noticeable share of residents still live below the poverty line, and fewer adults hold a four-year degree than you might expect. Winters are cold, with a little snow, and summers are hot, with a fair amount of rain through the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, shops, and restaurants and hotels close behind. Across Mayes County, some of the largest workplaces are RAE, which makes heating equipment, Pryor Schools, and GXO Logistics Worldwide, a warehousing operation. Unemployment in the county is a little higher than a year ago, though the number of jobs has grown, and the typical commute is a fairly long one.
Things to do. A short drive away, Dry Gulch, U.S.A. is an amusement park, and Ed Galloway's Totem Pole Park is a museum devoted to the folk-art totem poles of its maker. A longer drive brings you to Grand Lake o' the Cherokees, a large reservoir for boating and fishing, and to Spavinaw State Park for time outdoors.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Adair’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively moderate. It is meant for planning, not a substitute for a local risk assessment or a flood map: FEMA’s index.
From the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2020 census and its American Community Survey (2020–2024 five-year estimates), and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. A survey, so each figure has a margin of error, and figures it is not sure of are left out. More on Mayes County.
