Affordability Score: 31/100

Population: 1,180 · 1 ZIP codes

The affordability dashboard for Oilton, OK aggregates Census ACS 5-Year Estimates across 1 ZIP code covering 1,180 residents, then layers in county-level federal data to produce an overall grade of F (31/100). The headline inputs are median household income of $31,786, median home value of $89,500, median rent of $631 per month, and 17.6% 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 $1,217 per month (studio $933, 1BR $987, 3BR $1,602, 4BR $1,858). Department of Labor data lists infant center-based childcare at $11,086 per year, consuming 35% 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 income, education, rent, childcare. Unemployment currently reads 4.1% and poverty 30.8% — numbers worth keeping alongside the headline grade.
