What it’s like
The place. Hobart is a small city and the seat of Kiowa County, in the plains of southwestern Oklahoma. The population is of a middle age, and most homes are lived in by their owners, with typical home values well below what many readers will be used to. Incomes are on the low side and a good share of residents live below the poverty line, and few adults hold a four-year degree. Winters are cool and fairly mild by northern standards, while summers turn very hot.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, in restaurants, hotels and entertainment, or in government. Among the largest workplaces in Hobart are Hobart Schools, Elkview General Hospital and Walmart. Across Kiowa County, jobs have slipped from the year before and unemployment is a little higher than it was a year ago. Commutes are short, and very few people work from home.
Things to do. The best known place nearby is Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge, a protected area a longer drive away. Quartz Mountain Nature Park is another protected area at about the same sort of distance. Lake Hobart is a reservoir, also a longer drive away, for time on the water.

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