What it’s like
The place. Inola is a small Oklahoma town in Rogers County, with a population on the younger side of the national picture. Most homes are lived in by their owners, and incomes run well below the county's. Winters are cool and summers are hot, with the coldest weather in January and the warmest in August.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by manufacturing, professional and business services, and shops. Across Rogers County, some of the largest workplaces are Claremore Schools, Claremore Indian Hospital and Kelvion. Few adults hold a four-year degree, and the commute to work is a fairly long one.
Things to do. For a day out, Tulsa has the Gilcrease Museum and the Philbrook Museum of Art, along with the Tulsa Zoo, all a longer drive away. History lovers can head to Fort Gibson, an old frontier fort, or to the Will Rogers Memorial Museum, also a longer drive away.

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