What it’s like
The place. Kenefic is a very small town in Johnston County, Oklahoma, with a population that places it among the smallest places on the map. Household incomes are close to the county's, just a little below, and few adults hold a four-year degree. Winters are mild and brief, with only a dusting of snow in a typical year, while August turns hot, and rain and melted snow add up to a fair amount over the year.
Work. Residents of Kenefic work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by shops, manufacturing, and farming, forestry and mining. Across Johnston County, some of the largest workplaces are Murray State College, Tishomingo Schools and Mercy Hospital Tishomingo. Job numbers across the county fell over the past year, and unemployment is higher than it was a year earlier. A typical commute is a little longer than a short hop across town each way.
Things to do. Fort McCulloch, a historic fort, is in or beside town, which makes it the easiest stop for anyone curious about the area's past. A longer drive brings you to Lake Texoma, a large reservoir, and to Fort Washita, another historic fort. Eisenhower State Park, also a longer drive away, is a protected area set aside for outdoor visits.

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