What it’s like
The place. Tryon is a very small town in Lincoln County, Oklahoma, and nearly everyone who lives there owns their home. Homes are valued well below what is typical across much of the country, and few adults hold a four-year degree. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month, and summers are hot, with July the warmest.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, in the building trades and in manufacturing. Across Lincoln County, some of the largest workplaces are McKee Utility Contractors, Hiland Dairy and Stroud Regional Medical Center. The typical commute is long, so many people travel some distance to their jobs, and unemployment in the county has risen slightly over the past year.
Things to do. Bellcow Lake, a reservoir, is a short drive away and is the closest place for time on the water. Farther afield, the National Wrestling Hall of Fame and Museum is a museum for those who follow the sport, and the Oklahoma Botanical Garden and Arboretum is a botanical garden for a quieter day out. Both are a longer drive away.

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