Who Should / Shouldn’t Move to Duncan
Duncan is a strong fit for affordability-focused movers and those connected to its Halliburton-manufacturing or healthcare economy. It's a weaker fit for buyers who need a single, confident housing-price or crime-rate figure.

Learn moreBest fit: affordability-focused movers
Duncan's clearest case is for movers prioritizing genuinely affordable housing (average value $135,002) and a genuinely low property tax rate (0.80%), alongside Oklahoma's low, further-cut income tax.
Good fit: Halliburton and healthcare-connected households
Households connected to Halliburton's real, current Duncan manufacturing facility or Duncan Regional Hospital's regional healthcare employment base have a real, practical case for Duncan specifically.
Weaker fit: buyers who need data certainty
Buyers who need a single, confident housing-price or crime-rate figure should weigh Duncan's real, disclosed cross-source volatility and discrepancies honestly against other Oklahoma Tier A markets documented elsewhere in this project.
Key takeaways
- Best fit: affordability-focused movers drawn to genuinely low home values and property taxes.
- Good fit: households connected to Duncan's Halliburton-manufacturing or Duncan Regional Hospital employment base.
- Weaker fit: buyers who specifically need a single, confident housing-price or crime-rate figure rather than a disclosed range.
