US housing guidance treats housing as affordable when it takes 30% of income or less, so the typical household is under that line. The median home value is $231,300, which is 3.4 times the median household income ($68,656); a ratio under 4 usually means ownership is within reach for many households. 58.5% of households own their home, 11% below the state average (58.5% against 65.8%).

Work and pay

The Oklahoma City, OK metropolitan area has 677,680 jobs in the BLS wage survey, and the median pay across all occupations is $47,230 a year, 7% below the national median ($47,230 against $50,980).

The area is most specialised in legal (1.2 times) and installation, maintenance, and repair (1.2 times), where the share of workers is above the national share. The best-paying groups with at least 5,000 jobs are management ($103,710) and architecture and engineering ($94,970). In 2026M09 the unemployment rate of Oklahoma County was 3.8%. 66.4% of residents aged 16 and over are in the labour force. The city lies in Oklahoma County; its jobs, pay by industry and GDP are on the county page.

Getting around

Among workers, 75.7% drive alone, 0.4% use public transit, 1.4% walk, 10.9% work from home. 6.6% of workers commute 45 minutes or more, 37% below the state average (6.6% against 10.4%).

People and education

34.7% of adults aged 25 and over hold a bachelor's degree or higher, 23% above the state share (34.7% against 28.4%). 12.1% of residents were born outside the United States, 91% above the state share (12.1% against 6.4%). The poverty rate is 15.1%, about the same as the state rate (15.1% against 15.3%).

Climate

The warmest month is Jul, averaging 84°F (28.8°C), and the coolest is Jan at 37°F (2.8°C). About 877 mm (35 inches) of precipitation falls in a year; May is the wettest month (129 mm) and Jan the driest (32 mm). These values come from NASA satellite-based climatology on a grid of about 50 km, so they describe the wider area, not a weather station in the city.
