What it’s like
The place. Okeene is a small town in Blaine County, Oklahoma, where most homes are lived in by their owners and typical home values are modest. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month, while summers are hot, with July the warmest. Snow falls only lightly through the year, and the town gets a fair amount of rain and melted snow.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, the building trades and government also common. Across Blaine County, the largest workplaces include USG, which makes joint treatment and hydrocal products, Watonga Schools and Harp's Food Store. Commutes are short, and very few people work from home.

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