What it’s like
The place. Kinta is a very small town in Haskell County, in the hills of eastern Oklahoma. Incomes here sit below the county's own, and a good share of residents live below the poverty line. Few adults hold a four-year degree, and homes are valued modestly compared with much of the country.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, with others in shops, farming and forestry, or manufacturing. Across Haskell County, Walmart, Stigler Schools and Cookson Hills Electric are among the largest workplaces. Commutes are typical in length, and few people work from home.
Things to do. Robbers Cave State Park is a protected area a short drive away, and the closest of the well-known outdoor spots. Farther afield, a longer drive brings you to the Canadian River and Eufaula Lake, a large reservoir. Winters are cool and summers hot, with plenty of rain through the year.

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