What it’s like
The place. Perry is a small city and the seat of Noble County, in north-central Oklahoma. Incomes here run below the county's as a whole, and most homes are lived in by their owners, at a typical price well within reach compared with much of the country. Winters are cold, summers are hot, and snow falls only lightly, with a fair amount of rain through the year.
Work. Many residents work in manufacturing, in schools, hospitals and social care, in the building trades and in shops. Ditch Witch, which makes trenching machines, is one of the largest workplaces in town, alongside Perry Schools and Perry Memorial Hospital. Getting to work is quick, and very few people work from home.
Things to do. For time outdoors, the Salt Fork Arkansas River and the Chikaskia River are both a longer drive away, and Carl Blackwell Lake, a reservoir, is also a longer drive. For indoor outings, the National Wrestling Hall of Fame and Museum is another longer drive away. Each of these means setting aside part of a day.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Perry’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively 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 Noble County.
