Housing Units, Population and Cost Rank Measures for Oklahoma

Here we explore the evolution and dynamics of the housing supply in Oklahoma, the relative cost of Oklahoma housing, the housing mix and the change in Oklahoma population. Housing supply here is defined as the number of housing units (i.e: houses, condos, apartments etc..). For this analysis, the Oklahoma population number we're most interested in is the 18 and over population since the under 18 population typically isn't a buyer or renter in the housing market. All data on this page comes from the Census ACS 1 year survey. Jump to Oklahoma sections: housing units, housing cost, housing mix, population.
