What it’s like
The place. Apache is a small town in Caddo County, Oklahoma, where most homes are lived in by their owners and typical home values are modest. Household incomes run a little above the county's. Fewer adults hold a four-year degree than in many towns, and the commute to work is fairly short, with very few people working from home. Winters are cool, with January the coldest month, and summers are hot, with July the warmest.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, in farming, forestry and mining, in shops, and in restaurants, hotels and entertainment. Across Caddo County, some of the largest workplaces are Anadarko Schools, Western Farmers Electric Cooperative and Physicians Hospital at Anadarko. Unemployment in the county has risen a little over the past year, though the county has added jobs.
Things to do. Lake Ellsworth is a lake a short drive away, and Richards Spur, a protected area, is also close by. For a longer outing, the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge is a protected area a longer drive away, and the Southern Plains Indian Museum is a museum about the same distance off.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Apache’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 Caddo County and the Lawton, OK metro.
