What it’s like
The place. Geronimo is a small town in Comanche County, Oklahoma, where most homes are lived in by their owners and typical home values are modest. Fewer adults hold a four-year degree here than in many places, and a smaller share of people work from home. Winters are cool and fairly mild, 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 many others in shops, in restaurants, hotels and entertainment, and in manufacturing. Across Comanche County, some of the largest workplaces are Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co, Lawton Schools and the Apache Casino Hotel. The county has seen unemployment edge up over the past year, and it has fewer jobs than it did the year before. A typical commute is a short one.
Things to do. The Museum of the Great Plains is a short drive away. For time outdoors, the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge, a protected area, and Lake Lawtonka, a reservoir, are both a longer drive away. Elmer Thomas Lake is another lake within a longer drive.

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