Saturday Night Science
How we determined the richest places in Oklahoma for 2026
The first thing most people reach for is personal income. After all, rich people have really high salaries. But one statistic doesn’t capture what it means to be one of the “richest places,” so we applied Saturday Night Science to two measures from the 2020-2024 American Community Survey:
- Median household income
- Median home value
Median household income is the most digestible way to understand how rich a place is, and home values are a measure of accumulated wealth. The two combine to define a “Rich City.”
After collecting the data for all 112 places in Oklahoma with more than 3,000 people, we ranked each place from 1 to 112 on both criteria, then averaged the two ranks into a “Rich Score.” The place with the lowest Rich Score, Nichols Hills, is crowned the richest city in Oklahoma for 2026.
