How does Oklahoma stack up? The figures below cover its rank among the states, income thresholds, earnings by age group and the spread across 77 counties.
The median household in Oklahoma brings in $65,039, 19% below the US median of $80,734 — 44th of 51. No cost-of-living adjustment is applied, so this compares dollars earned rather than what they buy.
The top-25% line is roughly $112,383 here and $141,925 for the US as a whole. 7% of households here earn $200,000+, against 13% in the US overall.
For a more recent snapshot, the 2024 one-year survey shows $66,148 (+2% against the 2020–2024 average). We use the five-year figure elsewhere because it's more reliable for smaller areas.
Roughly 7% of households in Oklahoma sit in the $200,000-and-up bracket. By household income, the top 25% start at about $112,383, and the top 10% at about $174,748. The table marks lines that fall above $200,000 rather than guessing their value: the Census groups everyone above that amount together, so the exact top-5% and top-1% cutoffs can't be read from this data.
Another way to read it: a household earning exactly the national median, $80,734, would rank around the top 40% in Oklahoma — above the state's own midpoint.
The top-quarter line is 1.73 times the state's midpoint income, narrower than the national ratio of 1.77 — a rough gauge of how stretched the upper half of the income distribution is.

Earnings per worker in Oklahoma peak at 45–54, with a median of $52,474, compared with $40,219 for workers aged 25–34. Compared age-for-age with the nation, the gap averages −11% and is largest at 35–44: $48,881 here, $58,657 nationwide. These figures are personal earnings (wages plus self-employment) from Census microdata, so they're lower than household income, which can combine several earners.
