What it’s like
The place. Verden is a very small town in Caddo County, Oklahoma, where most homes are lived in by their owners and a typical house costs less than in much of the country. Incomes run below the county's, and more people live below the poverty line than is usual. Fewer adults hold a four-year degree than in most places, and the commute to work is fairly long, with only a few people working from home. Winters are cold but short, with very little snow, and summers are hot, with rain and melted snow adding up to a moderate amount over the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by farming, forestry and mining, then shops, restaurants and hotels. Across Caddo County, the largest workplaces include Anadarko Schools, Western Farmers Electric Cooperative and Walmart. Unemployment in the county is a little higher than a year ago, though the county had more jobs last year than the year before.
Things to do. Sugar Creek, a river, is a short drive away, as are a pair of museums: Indian City USA and the Southern Plains Indian Museum. A longer drive brings you to Fort Cobb State Park, a protected area with the Fort Cobb Reservoir nearby, or to Red Rock Canyon State Park.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Verden’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.
