What it’s like
The place. Spavinaw is a very small town in Mayes County, Oklahoma, where neighbors tend to know one another. A majority of homes are lived in by their owners, and typical home values sit at a modest level. Few adults hold a four-year degree. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month and only light snow through the year, while July brings hot summers and the year as a whole is fairly wet.
Work. Residents of Spavinaw work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with many others in manufacturing, shops, and restaurants, hotels and entertainment. Across Mayes County, some of the largest workplaces are RAE, which makes heating equipment, Pryor Schools, and GXO Logistics Worldwide, a warehousing company. The typical commute is a fairly long one, and few people work from home. Household incomes across the county are moderate, and unemployment there has stayed low.
Things to do. Spavinaw State Park is a park in or beside town, and the Spavinaw Water Project, a lake, is also close at hand. A short drive away is Dry Gulch, U.S.A., an amusement park. For a longer outing, Grand Lake o' the Cherokees is a large reservoir a longer drive away.
