What it’s like
The place. Macomb is a very small town in Pottawatomie County, in central Oklahoma, where most people know one another. Winters are cold, with nights that often fall to freezing, and summers are hot, with July the hottest month of the year. Life here moves at a quiet pace, and the surrounding countryside gives the town its character.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, and in local shops and government offices. Restaurants, hotels and entertainment businesses also provide work. Jobs have dipped slightly over the past year, so steady local employers matter a great deal.
Things to do. For a day out, the Museum of Osteology is a museum devoted to bones and skeletons, a longer drive away. Lake Thunderbird, a reservoir a longer drive away, is a popular spot for boating and fishing. Gaylord Family Oklahoma Memorial Stadium, a longer drive away, is the home stadium for University of Oklahoma football.

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