    Woods County, Oklahoma is a rural county located in the northwestern part of the state. The geography is characterized by gently rolling hills and prairies, with a continental climate that features hot summers and cold, dry winters. The population is around 9,000, with a majority white demographic and a median age slightly higher than the national average. The economy is heavily dependent on agriculture, with wheat, cattle, and oil and gas production as the primary industries. The cost of living is relatively low compared to national averages, and the housing market offers affordable single-family homes. The K-12 education system has a mix of public and private schools, while higher education options are limited to a few community colleges in the region. Healthcare facilities are sparse, with the nearest major hospital being about an hour's drive away. Cultural attractions are minimal, though the county does offer some outdoor recreation opportunities like hunting, fishing, and hiking. The transportation infrastructure is focused on highways, with limited public transit options. Crime rates are generally low, though the remote, rural nature of the county can present some safety challenges. Overall, Woods County offers a quiet, small-town lifestyle, but may lack some of the amenities and job opportunities found in more urban areas.
