What it’s like
The place. Milburn is a very small town in Johnston County, Oklahoma, where neighbors are likely to know one another. Homes here cost less than the typical home across much of the country, and household incomes in the county run below the Oklahoma norm. Few adults hold a four-year degree, and winters are cold while summers get hot, with a fair amount of rain and melted snow through the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with others in shops, manufacturing, and farming, forestry and mining. Across Johnston County, some of the largest workplaces are Murray State College, Tishomingo Schools and Mercy Hospital Tishomingo. Jobs in the county have become fewer over the past year, and unemployment has risen, so work is harder to come by than it was. Most people travel a fair way to their jobs, and very few work from home.
Things to do. Fort Washita, a historic fort, and Tishomingo National Wildlife Refuge, a protected area, are each a short drive away. Lake Texoma, a large reservoir, is a longer drive, and makes a good day out for anyone who likes to be near the water.

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