What it’s like

The place. Rattan is a very small town in Pushmataha County, in the southeast of Oklahoma, where most people know one another by sight. Winters are mild and rarely bring snow, summers run hot, and the year brings a fair amount of rain. Few adults hold a four-year degree, and household incomes in the county sit below those of the state's more populated areas.

Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, in the building trades, and in farming, forestry and mining. Across Pushmataha County, the largest workplaces include Antlers Schools, Rattan Schools and Pushmataha Hospital. Almost no one works from home, and the county has fewer jobs than it did a year earlier.

Things to do. Ozzie Cobb Lake and Hugo Lake are both reservoirs a short drive away, suited to fishing and time on the water. For a longer outing, Raymond Gary State Park is a protected area a longer drive away, and the Kiamichi River is a river a longer drive away.

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