What it’s like
The place. Cameron is a very small town in Le Flore County, in the hills of eastern Oklahoma, where people tend to know their neighbors and the surrounding countryside is never far off. Homes here cost less than the typical American home, and the commute to work is a moderate one. Few residents hold a four-year degree, and very few work from home.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, with shops, manufacturing and the building trades also employing a good share. Across Le Flore County, some of the largest workplaces are Walmart, Robinson Construction and Poteau Schools. Jobs across the county grew a little last year, and unemployment is close to where it stood a year ago.
Things to do. Twyman Park and James Fork, a park and a river, are both a short drive away and make easy outings close to home. A longer drive reaches Lake Wister, a reservoir, and Spiro Mounds, an archaeological site. Winters are cool and summers hot, so spring and fall are comfortable times to be outdoors.

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