What it’s like
The place. Beaver is a small town in the Oklahoma Panhandle, and its residents skew younger than in many small towns. Incomes here run below the county's, and homes are modest in price. Winters are cold, with snow most years, and summers turn hot, with only a modest amount of rain and melted snow across the year.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, in farming, forestry and mining, and in the building trades. Across Beaver County, some of the largest workplaces are Beaver Schools, Beaver County Memorial Hospital and Seaboard Foods. Most people have a short trip to work, a four-year degree is held by fewer adults than not, and the county has lost some jobs over the past year.
Things to do. Beaver Dunes State Park, a protected area, sits in or beside town. A short drive away is Beaver River Wildlife Management Area, a park for time outdoors. Farther afield, a longer drive brings you to Meade State Park, another protected area, and to the Mid-America Air Museum.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Beaver’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively low. 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 Beaver County.
