Taloga, OK

The affordability dashboard for Taloga, OK aggregates Census ACS 5-Year Estimates across 1 ZIP code covering 517 residents, then layers in county-level federal data to produce an overall grade of B- (66/100). The headline inputs are median household income of $67,500, median home value of $120,800, median rent of $960 per month, and 26.7% 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 $955 per month (studio $718, 1BR $728, 3BR $1,319, 4BR $1,493). Department of Labor data lists infant center-based childcare at $10,904 per year, consuming 16% 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. Strengths visible in the raw data for Taloga, OK include housing, rent. Unemployment currently reads 3.5% and poverty 16.5% — numbers worth keeping alongside the headline grade.
