What it’s like
The place. Lamont is a very small town in Grant County, Oklahoma, among farmland on the state's open northern plains. Homes here are valued well below what is typical across the country, and few adults hold a four-year degree. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month, summers are hot, and the year brings a fair amount of rain and melted snow.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with many others in transport, warehouses and utilities, in farming, forestry and mining, and in shops. Across Grant County, the largest workplaces are school districts, among them Medford Schools, Pond Creek-Hunter Schools and Deer Creek-Lamont Schools. The usual trip to work is a fairly long one, and unemployment in the county is low.
Things to do. The closest named places all lie a longer drive away. The Salt Fork Arkansas River is a river for time outdoors, and the North Oklahoma Botanical Garden and Arboretum is a botanical garden. The Pickens Museum is a 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 Lamont’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, very 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 Grant County.
