Demographics

Sitting at the heart of three river valleys—the Red, the Blue, and the Washita River valleys—Durant is uniquely positioned at the southern edge of the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma, just inside the Dallas-Fort Worth statistical area. Like a river with many tributaries, Durant is a city bolstered by demographic advantages, including a population growth rate of 2.78%, but also nurtured by richly diverse influences and high standards for achievement. Our numbers are only the beginning of the Durant picture of excellence—the quality of the people make the difference in Durant.
