What it’s like
The place. Haskell is a small town in Muskogee County, Oklahoma, with an older population than most of the country. Most homes are lived in by their owners, and fewer adults hold a four-year degree than in many places. More households live below the poverty line than is typical, and the typical home is valued modestly.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by shops, manufacturing, and restaurants and hotels. Commutes run long, and few people work from home. Across Muskogee County, the largest workplaces include the Veterans Health Administration, Saint Francis Hospital Muskogee and Muskogee Schools, though the county has recently lost a small share of its jobs and unemployment has risen over the past year.
Things to do. The Neosho River and the Verdigris River are both a longer drive away, for time near the water. Fort Gibson, a historic fort, and Honor Heights Park, a botanical garden, are also a longer drive away. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month, and summers are hot, with July the warmest.

Staff on average in 2025, as each workplace reported it to OSHA with its injury records: 40 workplaces with 20 or more staff, 4,192 people in all across the county; Haskell has one of its own. Federal offices come from OPM's federal workforce data (2026), hospitals from their Medicare cost reports (CMS, 2023) and school districts from the Common Core of Data (NCES, 2023–24); FTE marks full-time equivalent staff. Not listed: many offices and banks, which need not report to OSHA; military bases, whose staff OPM withholds; and, in about half the states, city and county governments.

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