What it’s like
The place. Custer City is a very small town on the plains of western Oklahoma, with a population smaller than most towns people think of as small. Homes here cost well below what is typical across the country, and fewer adults hold a four-year degree than in much of the nation. Winters are cold but not severe, summers get very hot, and the year brings a moderate amount of rain and melted snow.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with shops, restaurants and hotels, and farming, forestry and mining also employing many. Across Custer County, some of the largest workplaces are Southwestern Oklahoma State University, Bar-S Foods Co and Weatherford Schools. Commutes tend to be long, and almost no one works from home, so most people travel to a job each day.
Things to do. For time outdoors, the Washita River and Foss Reservoir are both a longer drive away, and Foss State Park, a protected area, lies in the same direction. The Stafford Air & Space Museum is also a longer drive away and suits a day trip with visitors.
