What it’s like

The place. Talala is a very small town in Rogers County, Oklahoma, where people know one another and life moves at a quiet pace. Household incomes here run well below the county's, and only a small share of adults hold a four-year degree. Winters are cold but short of harsh, with highs well above freezing even in January, and summers are hot.

Work. Most residents who work do so in schools, hospitals and social care, in manufacturing, in shops, or in professional and business services. Jobs are mostly found a drive away, so commutes are longer than many people expect, and very few people work from home. Across Rogers County, large workplaces include Claremore Schools, the Claremore Indian Hospital and Baker Hughes Pump Plant, and the county has added jobs over the past year.

Things to do. Oologah Lake is a short drive away and is the nearest spot for time on the water. A longer drive brings you to the Will Rogers Memorial Museum, and farther still is the Tulsa Zoo, a good outing for visiting family.

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