What it’s like
The place. Oakland is a small Marshall County town in southern Oklahoma, home to a close-knit community. Residents tend to be younger than in much of the country, and household incomes run above the county's. Most homes are lived in by their owners, and a typical home costs less than the national norm. Winters are mild and mostly snow-free, while summers get very hot, and rain falls through the year.
Work. Most residents work in manufacturing, the building trades, shops and the schools and health services. Across Marshall County, some of the largest workplaces are Oklahoma Steel and Wire, Mid American Steel & Wire and New Vision Manufacturing. A four-year degree is less common here than across the country, and the typical drive to work is a moderate one.
Things to do. Lake Texoma, a large reservoir, is a longer drive away and is the best known place nearby for boating and fishing. Fort Washita, a historic fort, and Lake Murray, a lake with a state park setting, are also a longer drive away. Each makes for a day out rather than a quick errand.

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