Sizing up the Clayton market

Reaching customers beyond the Clayton town limits

Around Clayton, the nearest cities and towns are Albion (16 miles), Hartshorne (21 miles), Talihina (21 miles), Haileyville (22 miles) and Wilburton (23 miles). 5 municipalities lie within 25 miles, each with its own customers. Antlers, seat of Pushmataha County, lies 29 miles to the southwest. Fort Smith, AR, a city of 90,855, is 77 miles northeast. Naming Albion, Talihina and the other places you cover on a service area page tells customers outside Clayton that you work there too.

Hot months, wet months: Clayton through the year

By the 1991-2020 normals of the Tuskahoma weather station (4.7 miles from Clayton), July highs average 93°F and January lows average 28°F. Precipitation totals about 52 inches a year, with May the wettest month. About 76 days a year hit 90°F or more.

Clayton, 2020 to 2025

The population has barely moved since 2020: 552 then, 556 in 2025. Statewide, the change was +4.1%. When the population is steady, businesses grow by taking customers from competitors, and the website is often where that choice happens.

A web designer’s view of Clayton’s businesses

The Census counted 27 establishments with employees in 2023 in ZIP code 74536, which includes Clayton and its surroundings.

Pushmataha County as a whole had 198 employer establishments in 2023 and another 992 nonemployer businesses, the one-person shops and independent contractors that often have no website at all. 15 religious, civic and membership organizations operate in Pushmataha County, twice what the national mix would predict. In that trade, members and newcomers look for schedules and contacts; a good site gives customers meeting times, programs, location and how to get involved.
