There are all types when it comes to being a snob in Oklahoma. You’ve got your Wine Snobs, Book Snobs, and, of course, Clothes Snobs. Then there are the Technology Snobs, Car Snobs, and yes, even City Snobs — as in, I’m better than you because I live in (insert snooty city here).
How can we tell which Oklahoma cities are the snobbiest? By measuring snobby things, that’s how.
We used Saturday Night Science to look at things like expensive homes, high incomes, and overly educated populations by city in Oklahoma. These are the criteria you’d argue with a friend over a foodie dinner about who’s snobbier.
After analyzing 68 of the state’s most populous areas over 5,000 people, we came up with this ranking of the ten snobbiest places in the state of Oklahoma.
The Oklahoman in these places aren’t snobby, they just know they’re better than you.

Saturday Night Science
How we determined the snobbiest cities in the Sooner State
Do you think we’d just come up with this list willy-nilly? Not a chance – we only use Saturday Night Science around here.
We gathered up all of the places in Oklahoma with populations of 5,000 people or more. This left us with a total of 68 places. Then, we looked at each place in terms of these snoot-er-iffic criteria (And no, it’s not a word. English snob.):
- Median home price (Higher is snobbier)
- Median household income (Higher is snobbier)
- Percent of population with a college degree (Higher is snobbier)
Incomes and college education levels come from the American Community Survey. Home prices come from Zillow.
Turned out this simple criteria was much better at sniffing out the snobby places then more snobby criteria like:
- Libaries per capita (Higher is snobbier)
- Museums per capita (Higher is snobbier)
- Private schools per capita (Higher is snobbier)
From there, we ranked each of our 68 places in each category with scores from one to 68. We then averaged each place’s ranking into one overall score, where the lowest score went to the snobbiest place in Oklahoma. So let’s all flip a table in honor of Jenks (with our pinkies up, of course.)
Before you get upset and ruin your blowout or something drastic here, let’s remember that this is all in good fun. Would we live in one of these 10 places if we had the chance? Of course, we would.
And it’s not like your real estate agent would ever point out how snobby the town you’re moving to is. We’re here to keep you grounded, even if you’re wearing a monocle.
