What it’s like
The place. Marietta is a small city and the seat of Love County, Oklahoma, and its residents are younger than in most places. Incomes run well below the county's as a whole, and more people live below the poverty line than you might expect in a county seat. Most homes are lived in by their owners, and few adults hold a four-year degree.
Work. Residents work mainly in restaurants, hotels and entertainment, in schools, hospitals and social care, and in manufacturing, with a share in transport, warehouses and utilities. The largest workplaces in town include Mercy Health/Love County, a critical access hospital, along with CNI Manufacturing and Robertson's Hams. The county has fewer jobs than a year earlier, and unemployment has edged up over the past year.
Things to do. Lake Murray is a lake a short drive away, and it is the closest place for time on the water. A longer drive brings you to Leeper Lake and to the Frank Buck Zoo. Winters are cool with little snow, and summers turn hot, so the lakes are likeliest to suit the warmer months.

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