240,929 Oklahoma Veterans, and Many Families Who Don’t Know About This Benefit
Oklahoma is home to 240,929 veterans, 114,921 of them 65 or older, according to the Census Bureau’s American Community Survey (2020–2024). In Oklahoma, as everywhere, wartime service counts, not combat, so a veteran who served stateside during Vietnam may still qualify.
