What it’s like
The place. Comanche is a small Oklahoma city in Stephens County, where most homes are lived in by their owners and typical home values are modest. Poverty is more common here than in many places, and relatively few adults hold a four-year degree. Winters are mild and cold only at the edges, with a little snow, and summers are hot, with plenty of rain and melted snow across the year.
Work. People here work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, in professional and business services, and in farming, forestry and mining. Across Stephens County, the largest workplaces include Duncan Regional Hospital, Duncan Schools and Walmart. Job numbers across the county have slipped a little over the past year, and unemployment there is somewhat higher than a year ago. The usual commute is a moderate one, and few people work from home.
Things to do. Waurika Lake, a reservoir, is a short drive away. Farther out, a longer drive takes you to the Wichita River, and to the Museum of the Great Plains. The lakes and rivers around the area give anglers and anyone who likes time by the water a few places to head for.

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