Affordability Score: 48/100

Population: 2,398 · 1 ZIP codes

The affordability dashboard for Bokchito, OK aggregates Census ACS 5-Year Estimates across 1 ZIP code covering 2,398 residents, then layers in county-level federal data to produce an overall grade of D (48/100). The headline inputs are median household income of $53,274, median home value of $167,600, median rent of $962 per month, and 16.6% of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher. These four metrics alone explain most of the variance between city dashboards.

Cross-agency feeds widen the picture beyond Census demographics. HUD publishes a Fair Market Rent for a 2-bedroom in this county at $1,000 per month (studio $757, 1BR $762, 3BR $1,322, 4BR $1,491). Department of Labor data lists infant center-based childcare at $10,821 per year, consuming 20% of the local median household income.

Reading the overall grade requires reading all seven dimensions together. The score weights Income 20%, Safety 20%, Housing 15%, Rent 15%, Education 10%, Commute 10%, and Childcare 10%, with each sub-score benchmarked against national percentiles rather than state averages — so the grade is genuinely comparable across any city in the country. Pressure points are education, childcare. Unemployment currently reads 4.0% and poverty 13.4% — numbers worth keeping alongside the headline grade.
