What it’s like
The place. Dustin is a very small town in Hughes County, Oklahoma, where neighbors tend to know one another. Household incomes are well below the county's, and typical home values are modest. Few adults hold a four-year degree. Winters are cool, with highs near freezing at the coldest and only a little snow, while summers are hot, and the year brings a fair amount of rain.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, in government, in farming, forestry and mining, or in manufacturing. Across Hughes County, the largest workplaces include Holdenville Schools, OK Pork and Holdenville General Hospital. A small share of residents work from home. Unemployment across the county is higher than a year ago, and the county has lost a few jobs over the past year.
Things to do. For time outdoors, Eufaula Lake is a large reservoir a longer drive away, and Lake Eufaula State Park on its shore is a protected area good for a day out. The North Canadian River, also a longer drive away, offers quiet water for those who enjoy walking its banks. Deep Fork National Wildlife Refuge, a protected area a longer drive away, is the place to go for wildlife and open country.

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