Surprisingly, small-town life is growing in popularity among our youngest adults in Oklahoma.

That's not to say there isn't the same old yearnings to move to "The City," but more and more, the small-town life is a big selling point.

It's the cost of living. You get way more house in a small town than you do in the larger cities and metro areas.

Case and point, this 3,600 sq ft home in Hollis is listed at $115,000. Sure, it needs to be updated, but with a small mortgage, you'll be able to do that with cash.

Alternatively, here's a similar but smaller 40-year-old 3,200 sq ft home in Yukon up for grabs for $410,000. At that price, you'd expect it to be completely up to date, but nope... you'll still have to throw money at it to bring it into this century.

This is why towns like Marlow, Sterling, Ponca City, and Coweta are growing this day in age. It's cheap to live there, close enough to everything, and that old-fashioned small-town charm.

Still, there is such a thing as too small. Here are some of the smallest Oklahoma towns with populations listed under 15 people.

Tiny Oklahoma Towns With Populations Less Than 15

The list of tiny Oklahoma towns is surprisingly longer than one might expect. By any metric of measurement, a "small town" in Oklahoma is widely considered under 5,000 people, but these tiny towns of 15 or fewer people redefine how we think of small towns.

Oklahoma's Fastest Growing Cities In 2025

While it was thought to be a fluke during the pandemic, the trend of small-town living is still on point, especially with Oklahoma's youngest adults. Whether it's the lower cost of living or just the simple shunning of the noise and chaos of big cities, the trend is rural suburbs and towns that still remain unincorporated.
