The Best Counties to Call Home in Oklahoma

I've realized something in my adulthood travels. It doesn't matter where you live, most people are always looking forward to the next place to call home. I'm optimistic that's probably true of every place.

A number of those in Oklahoma's small towns have always wanted to move to bigger towns. Those living in Hollis want to move to Altus. Those in Altus want to move to Lawton. Lawtonians want to move to OKC, and so on until the final destination is likely LA or NYC... but that hasn't been the trend in the last few years.

The youngest generation entering the American workforce is setting an alternative trend. Backed by the availability of remote careers, Gen-Z is moving into the small towns around the state making the most of high-paying jobs and ultra-cheap cost of living.

If you're always looking for the next place to land in the Sooner State, here are the best counties to shop for your own quiet home life.
