What it’s like
The place. Spiro is a small town in Le Flore County, and its residents are somewhat younger than in many places. Most households own their homes, though incomes run below the county's, and a good share of people live below the poverty line. Winters are cool and summers are hot, with only a little snow and plenty of rain through the year.
Work. People who live in Spiro work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by manufacturing, restaurants and hotels, and the building trades. Across Le Flore County, some of the largest workplaces are Walmart, Poteau Schools and Eastern Oklahoma Medical Center. Few adults hold a four-year degree, a typical commute is fairly short, and very few people work from home.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Spiro’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively high.

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 Le Flore County.
