What it’s like
The place. Tishomingo is a small city in Johnston County, Oklahoma, with a younger population than most of the country. Fewer homes are lived in by their owners than you might expect for a town this size, and a good share of households have incomes that fall short of what is typical. Winters are cool and summers are hot, with January the coldest month and August the warmest.
Work. Most residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by shops, restaurants, hotels and entertainment, and other services. Tishomingo Schools and Mercy Hospital Tishomingo are among the largest workplaces in town. Jobs across Johnston County have become scarcer over the past year, and unemployment there is higher than it was a year earlier. Few people work from home, and a typical commute is a fairly short drive.
Things to do. The closest outing is Tishomingo National Wildlife Refuge, a protected area a short drive away. Farther afield, Lake Texoma is a large reservoir and Turner Falls is a waterfall, each a longer drive away. Fort Washita, a historic fort, is also a longer drive from town.

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 Johnston County.
