About Medford
Medford is a very small city located in the state of Oklahoma. With a population of 2,006 people and just one neighborhood, Medford is the 248th largest community in Oklahoma.
Medford is neither predominantly blue-collar nor white-collar, instead having a mixed workforce of both blue-collar and white-collar jobs. Overall, Medford is a city of sales and office workers, managers and service providers. There are especially a lot of people living in Medford who work in office and administrative support (16.56%), farm management occupations (13.40%) and sales jobs (9.99%).
In addition, many people in Medford have jobs in agriculture, more so than in most other communities in America. As a result, you will see quite a number of farms around town.
Telecommuters are a relatively large percentage of the workforce: 9.57% of people work from home. While this number may seem small overall, as a fraction of the total workforce it is high relative to the nation. These workers are often telecommuters who work in knowledge-based, white-collar professions. For example, Silicon Valley has large numbers of people who telecommute. Other at-home workers may be self-employed people who operate small businesses out of their homes.
Because of many things, Medford is a very good place for families to consider. With an enviable combination of good schools, low crime, college-educated neighbors who tend to support education because of their own experiences, and a high rate of home ownership in predominantly single-family properties, Medford really has some of the features that families look for when choosing a good community to raise children. Is Medford perfect? Of course not, and if you like frenetic nightlife, it will be far from your cup of tea. But overall this is a solid community, with many things to recommend it as a family-friendly place to live.
It is a fairly quiet city because there are relatively few of those groups of people who have a tendency to be noisy. (Children, for example, often can't help themselves from being noisy, and being parents ourselves, we know!) Medford has relatively few families with children living at home, and is quieter because of it. Renters and college students, for their own reasons, can also be noisy. Medford has few renters and college students. But the biggest reason it is quieter in Medford than in most places in America, is that there are just simply fewer people living here. If you think trees make good neighbors, Medford may be for you.
Residents of the city have the good fortune of having one of the shortest daily commutes compared to the rest of the country. On average, they spend only 16.93 minutes getting to work every day.
Medford is a small city, and as such doesn't have a public transit system that people use to get to and from their jobs every day.
