Dissing Poteau OK, metropolis of Leflore Co., Home of Costner Stadium



So much for the home of COSTNER STADIUM, named for Uncle Elbert Costner, not Cousin Kevin Costner.

7. Poteau

Population: 8,502
Way out near the Arkansas state line is Poteau, where there simply isn’t much to do, entertainment wise. You have a long way to drive to get to any decent sized city.
But that’s not all. The unemployment rate is at 6.6%, which is the 3rd highest in the state. And the income levels are far below the state average. So, even if residents here had a ‘big city’ to venture into every now and then, many couldn’t afford to make the trip.
