What it’s like

The place. Gore is a very small town in Sequoyah County, in eastern Oklahoma. Most homes are lived in by their owners, and a good number of residents are living on incomes below the poverty line. Fewer adults hold a four-year degree than is typical across the country, and the typical home is valued at a modest sum. Winters are cold but short on snow, summers run hot, and rain falls through much of the year.

Work. Residents of Gore work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, shops and restaurants and hotels also employing many. Across Sequoyah County, some of the largest workplaces are Walmart, Sallisaw Schools and Muldrow Schools. Unemployment in the county is a little higher than a year ago, and the number of jobs has slipped slightly. Most people drive a modest distance to work, and only a few work from home.

Things to do. The Canadian River is a short drive away, as are Sequoyah National Wildlife Refuge and Tenkiller State Park, both protected areas where people go to be outdoors. Fort Gibson, a historic fort, is a longer drive away. Greenleaf State Park is also close by, another protected area suited to a day outside.
