For the 4,932 real estate businesses on map listings, housing spending per office is 5% above the U.S. figure. That figure is all rent and homeowner costs, used as a measure of housing demand; it is not money real estate businesses take in. It is estimated from the incomes of the 1,562,389 households in Oklahoma and national spending patterns by income.

How does Oklahoma compare with the U.S. for real estate businesses?

Oklahoma has 31.6 real estate businesses per 10,000 households, 18% below the U.S. rate of 38.5. The index of housing spending per office is 105, where 100 is the U.S. At the U.S. ratio of real estate businesses to household spending, Oklahoma would have about 5,191, against 4,932 on map listings. There is one business with payroll in the industry for every 530 households, against one for every 414 across the U.S. The official count rose 16.4% from 2019 to 2023, against +15.8% for the U.S.

Which market in Oklahoma has the highest market score for real estate businesses?

Among 17 scored small-town markets in or partly in Oklahoma, the Duncan area scores highest, at 82 (high). Among 55 scored counties in Oklahoma, Stephens County scores highest, at 75 (high). Scores compare each market with others of its kind across the U.S.

What is the Groundwork market score?

The Groundwork market score runs from 0 to 100 and compares a market with others of its kind for one business type: states with states, metro areas with metro areas, small-town markets and counties with their own. It weighs household spending per competitor (35%), households per business with payroll (25%), population growth (20%) and spending power (20%), each ranked against those peers. A higher score means that, taken together, the market has more household spending and more households for each business already there, faster population growth and more spending per household than similar markets. It describes a market, not any one site or deal. Oklahoma scores 55 for real estate businesses (upper middle), #19 of the 50 states and DC.
