How does Calumet compare to other US cities?

Calumet measured against every US city with 1,000+ residents, computed live from the same Census and FBI data shown throughout this page.

Household income 32% higher than other cities
Home value 4% pricier than other cities
Median rent 40% pricier than other cities
Safety 96% safer than other cities

"Safer than" reflects total crime rate from FBI UCR; the others use Census ACS estimates.

A national percentile can hide a lot of local variation: narrowed to Oklahoma alone, Calumet ranks #5 of 203 Oklahoma cities by lowest crime rate - a different, more locally useful comparison than stacking it against the entire country.

How we calculate these percentiles & ranks

Each percentile compares Calumet against every qualifying US city; each in-state rank narrows that to Oklahoma only. Full formula and direction notes: methodology.

Oklahoma-relative analysis

Median Gross Rent is Calumet's strongest outlier among Oklahoma cities

Among the 671 Oklahoma cities PlainCities tracks with reported median gross rent data, Calumet ranks #1 - the 92nd percentile within the state. This is a different, narrower cut than the nationwide percentiles above: it compares Calumet only against its own state's cities, not the full US field.
