What it’s like
The place. Corn is a very small town in Washita County, and most homes here are lived in by their owners. Household incomes run below the county's, and more people live below the poverty line than many would expect to find in a small town of this kind. Homes are modestly priced, and winters are cold while summers get quite hot, with a fair amount of rain and melted snow through the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with farming, forestry and mining, shops, and transport and utilities also common. Across Washita County, some of the largest workplaces are Cordell Memorial Hospital, Cordell Schools and Western Technology Center. The drive to work is on the long side, and a fair number of people work from home. Unemployment has held steady over the past year, and the number of jobs in the county has barely changed.
Things to do. The closest outing is Crowder Lake University Park, a reservoir a short drive away. For a longer drive, Foss State Park is a protected area built around Foss Reservoir, and the Stafford Air & Space Museum is a museum that is also a longer drive away.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Corn’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 Washita County.
