What it’s like
The place. Soper is a very small town in Choctaw County, in the southeastern part of Oklahoma. Few adults here hold a four-year degree, and household incomes across the county run below the typical figures for the country. Winters are mild and brief, with January afternoons staying cool and nights dipping to just around freezing, while summers turn properly hot, peaking in August.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with restaurants and hotels, manufacturing and retail close behind. Across Choctaw County, some of the largest workplaces are Choctaw Memorial Hospital, Hugo Schools and Walmart. The county has lost a little ground in jobs over the past year, and the commute is a fairly typical one, with only a small share of people working from home.
Things to do. Muddy Boggy Creek is a river a short drive away, and the nearest spot for time by the water. Farther afield, Hugo Lake is a reservoir and Raymond Gary State Park is a protected area, both a longer drive away. Caddo National Grassland, also a longer drive, is protected open country.

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