What it’s like
The place. Sharon is a very small town in Woodward County, in the northwest part of Oklahoma. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month, and summers are hot, with July the warmest. Rain and melted snow add up to a moderate amount over the year. A typical home here costs less than many people would expect to pay in much of the country.
Work. People who live in Sharon work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, in farming, forestry and mining, in shops, and in transport, warehouses and utilities. Very few work from home. Across Woodward County, some of the largest workplaces are Woodward Schools, Walmart and Mewbourne Oil Company. Relatively few adults here hold a four-year degree, and the county has lost a small share of its jobs over the past year.
Things to do. Boiling Springs State Park, a protected area, is a longer drive away, and so is the Beaver River, which is a good place to be near the water. Fort Supply, a historic fort, is also a longer drive away, as is Fort Supply Lake, a reservoir. Visits to any of these mean planning a trip rather than a quick outing.

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