What it’s like
The place. Depew is a very small town in Creek County, Oklahoma, where everyone is likely to know a good many of their neighbors. Household incomes are well below the county's, and a typical home is valued above what that income might suggest. Few adults hold a four-year degree. Winters are cold but short on snow, summers are hot, and the year brings a fair amount of rain.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, shops and the building trades also employing many. Across Creek County, the largest workplaces include Sapulpa Schools, Ardagh Glass Packaging Sapulpa and Webco Industries. The typical commute is a moderate drive, and few people work from home. Unemployment in the county is higher than a year ago, and there are slightly fewer jobs than there were.
Things to do. Stroud Lake, a reservoir, is a short drive away and the closest place to spend a day on the water. Farther afield, Keystone State Park is a protected area, and Heyburn Lake offers more shoreline. Each of these is 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 Depew’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 Creek County and the Tulsa, OK metro.
