What it’s like
The place. Snyder is a small city in Kiowa County, in southwest Oklahoma, with a population small enough that most people know one another. Incomes here run below the county's, and more people live below the poverty line than is typical, but most homes are lived in by their owners, and typical home values are low. Winters are mild and brief, with cool January days and very little snow, while July brings hot afternoons, and the year brings a fair amount of rain.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with government, shops and manufacturing also employing many. Across Kiowa County, some of the largest workplaces are Hobart Schools, Elkview General Hospital and Snyder Schools. Unemployment across the county has edged up over the past year, and there are somewhat fewer jobs than there were a year earlier. Commutes are of a moderate length, and a modest share of people work from home.
Things to do. Great Plains State Park, a protected area, is a short drive away, as is Lake Frederick, a reservoir. Tom Steed Reservoir is also a short drive away. For a longer outing, Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge, a protected area, is 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 Snyder’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 Kiowa County.
