Enid, Oklahoma, has secured a notable ranking as the fourth best place to live in the state, according to a recent report by U.S. News and World Report. This ranking places Enid ahead of major cities like Oklahoma City and Tulsa, a point that was celebrated during the City Commission meeting on July 1, 2025.
City officials highlighted that Enid ranked 55th out of nearly 20,000 cities nationwide, a significant achievement considering the competition from larger metropolitan areas such as New York City and Chicago. The ranking is based on various criteria evaluated by the report, and Enid stands out as one of only eight Oklahoma cities to make the list.
Commissioner Terry Ray emphasized the importance of this recognition, suggesting that improvements like adding roundabouts could further enhance Enid's standing. He expressed pride in the community's accomplishments and encouraged residents to appreciate the city's quality of life, despite occasional frustrations like road construction.
The city plans to feature this ranking in its upcoming annual report, showcasing Enid as a desirable place to live. The positive news was met with enthusiasm from the commission, with calls for local media to highlight the achievement. The meeting also included routine approvals of consent items, with all motions passing unanimously.
