Blanchard is a somewhat small city located in the state of Oklahoma. With a population of 9,663 people and three associated neighborhoods, Blanchard is the 48th largest community in Oklahoma. Blanchard has seen a significant amount of newer housing growth in recent years. Quite often, new home construction is the result of new residents moving in who are middle class or wealthier, attracted by jobs, a healthy local economy, or other amenities as they leave nearby or far away areas for greener pastures. This seems to be the case in Blanchard, where the median household income is $89,472.00.

Blanchard real estate is some of the most expensive in Oklahoma, although Blanchard house values don't compare to the most expensive real estate in the U.S.

Also of interest is that Blanchard has more people living here who work in computers and math than 95% of the places in the US.

One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 10.88% of the workforce. While this number may seem small overall, as a fraction of the total workforce this is high compared to the rest of the county. These workers are often telecommuters who work in knowledge-based, white-collar professions. For example, Silicon Valley has large numbers of people who telecommute. Other at-home workers may be self-employed people who operate small businesses out of their homes.

The city’s good public school district and large population of college-educated adults provide an environment conducive to academic values.
