What it’s like
The place. Granite is a small town in Greer County, in southwestern Oklahoma. Residents skew older than in much of the country, and most homes are lived in by their owners. Household incomes are close to the county's, and homes cost less than in many parts of the country. Winters are cold but short, with only a dusting of snow, and summers run hot.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, with government, farming and shops also employing a good number. Across Greer County, some of the biggest workplaces are Mangum Schools, Mangum Regional Medical Center and Granite Schools. Few adults hold a four-year degree, and only a small number work from home.
Things to do. Quartz Mountain Nature Park, a protected area, is a short drive away, as is Lake Altus-Lugert, a good spot for time on the water. The Elm Fork Red River also lies a short drive off. A longer drive brings you to Great Plains State Park, another protected area.

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