Oklahoma City, Oklahoma demographics

Oklahoma City, OK demographics: median age 35.1; 34.7% of adults 25+ hold a bachelor’s degree. Age, race, households, languages and education, ACS 2020–2024 with margins of error.

ACS 2020–2024 · Oklahoma City city, Oklahoma · Incorporated city · GEOID 4055000. The survey estimates a population of 697,125 for its five-year window. This is separate from the annual July 2025 population estimate on the city overview.

Median age in Oklahoma City is 35.1 years, with a 90% margin of error of 0.2 years. There are 280,065 households (±1,960). Age and household distributions show how these totals are composed; they do not establish which neighborhood suits a particular person.

Every count and share is an estimate. “±” is a 90% margin of error (MOE); pp means percentage points. Derived shares use the category count divided by the named universe. Aggregated category MOEs and percentage MOEs are approximate. A margin larger than half its estimate is flagged as low precision. Blank source uncertainty is shown as unavailable, never zero.
