The Ten Most Affordable Places to Live in Oklahoma in 2024

As we roll through the middle of another year gone by, Oklahoma is experiencing changes. Some towns are on the upswing while others are not so much.

For instance, Cushing has historically been one of the more affordable places in Oklahoma to live. With good-paying oil and gas jobs in the Pipeline Crossroads of the World and surprisingly low housing costs, it was always within the top-five places to live in the Sooner State, but - and this is a good thing for them - with the announcement of a new huge refinery, the housing market is turning up there.

Lawton was also on the list previously but has fallen off in the last two years also due to the rising cost of living in a military town. You should see the kinds of rentals going for $850+ in L-town these days. It's shocking.

Other Sooner State towns popped onto the "Most Affordable" list defying expectations. As it turns out, people will live in a crime capital if the cost of living is low enough... After all, you can always spend that family budget surplus on security and such I suppose.
