What it’s like
The place. Skiatook is a small city in Osage County, Oklahoma, where most homes are lived in by their owners. The population is younger than in many towns where homeowners look to settle, and household incomes run a little below the county's. Winters are cold, with a modest amount of snow, and summers are hot, with rain spread through the year.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, and in professional and business services. Skiatook Schools, Walmart and Sodexo at Skiatook Public Schools are among the largest workplaces in town. The typical commute is a fairly short drive, and only a small number of people work from home.
Things to do. For a short outing, the Tulsa Zoo is a short drive away. Keystone Lake and the Caney River are both a longer drive away for time on the water, and the Philbrook Museum of Art is a longer drive away for an afternoon among paintings and gardens.

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