What it’s like
The place. Lone Wolf is a very small town in Kiowa County, Oklahoma, where most homes are lived in by their owners and typical home values are modest. Incomes are below what is typical across much of the country, and more people live below the poverty line than is usual. Few adults hold a four-year degree, and the usual trip to work is a short one. Winters are cold but brief and nearly snow-free, and summers get hot.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with others in farming, forestry and mining, in shops, and in government. Across Kiowa County, the largest workplaces include Hobart Schools, Elkview General Hospital and Snyder Schools. Unemployment in the county is higher than it was a year ago, and the county has fewer jobs than it did the year before.
Things to do. Quartz Mountain Nature Park, a protected area, is a short drive away, as are the Elm Fork Red River and Lake Altus-Lugert, a lake. For a longer drive, Great Plains State Park is another protected area, and Lake Hobart is a reservoir.
