flag Oklahoma counties Grady, Murray, and Osage have the oldest housing, built around 1980, with some homes pre-1939.

flag Stacker analyzed 2023 U.S. Census Bureau data to rank Oklahoma counties by the median year homes were built, finding that Grady, Murray, and Osage counties had the oldest housing stock, with median construction years of 1981, 1980, and 1980 respectively. flag A notable share of homes in these areas, including 9.8% in Grady County, were built before 1939, reflecting broader national trends of older housing outside major urban centers. flag While many pre-1939 homes feature historic details like hardwood floors and crown molding, they may also contain outdated materials such as asbestos or knob-and-tube wiring, increasing renovation costs. flag Preservation efforts by historical societies and inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places have helped protect these structures, balancing their cultural value with modernization needs.
