Ketchum sits on the shores of Grand Lake O' the Cherokees in northeastern Oklahoma. This compact lakeside community covers just 0.14 square miles in Craig County. With a median age of 53.1 years and 38% of homes used seasonally (291 of 770 housing units), Ketchum serves as both a retirement haven and vacation destination.
This is a PO Box Only Zone. There's no alternative mail delivery across the community. The post office maintains 391 PO Boxes for 424 households, meaning 92% of residents rely on boxes for mail. Two rural carrier routes provide limited delivery to outlying areas, but most addresses require PO Box access.
Street names tell the story of a lake community. Lakeview Avenue and Starboard Lane reference the waterfront location. Oddly, many streets are named after cities: Albany, Amarillo, Boston, Casper, Detroit, El Paso, and Fulton. The town added two alternative names in 2011: Grand Lake Towne and Grnd Lke Town, recognizing the community's connection to the lake.
The population of 805 lives in small households. With 1.9 people per household, most homes house couples or singles rather than families. Only 10 residents are under 18. The community is predominantly white (76%) with 13% identifying as Native American and 17% Hispanic or Latino. About 78% of homes are owner-occupied.
Median household income sits at $42,708, with per capita income of $36,395. Median home values reach $250,500, and median rent is $856. Nearly 20% of workers work from home, likely retirees or professionals taking advantage of the lakeside setting. The area has 24 business establishments employing 241 workers, many likely supporting the lake tourism economy.
Streets mix lakefront references (Lakeview, Starboard) with an unusual city-naming pattern (Albany, Amarillo, Boston, Detroit, El Paso, Fulton).
ZIP Code 74349 has 805 residents and 424 households (average 1.90 persons per household).
