What it’s like

The place. Kansas is a very small town in Delaware County, in the Ozark foothills of eastern Oklahoma. Nearly all of its homes are lived in by their owners, a much higher share than is typical across the country. Fewer adults here hold a four-year degree than in most places, and household incomes across the county sit below the national middle.

Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, retail and restaurants and hotels also employing many. Across Delaware County, some of the largest workplaces are Grove Schools, Walmart and Integris Grove Hospital. The usual trip to work is a fairly long one, and very few people work from home.

Things to do. Natural Falls State Park, a protected area, is a short drive away, as is Flint Creek, a river. Farther out, Grand Lake o' the Cherokees is a large reservoir, and Lake Eucha is another reservoir with a park beside it. Winters are cold, with the lowest temperatures in January, and summers turn hot by July, so outdoor days tend to suit the milder seasons in between.
