In a wide-ranging study by Expert Market that combined data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Bureau of Economic Analysis, the Kauffman Index and property experts Zillow, Oklahoma placed second (behind North Dakota) in overall state economic health. Why Oklahoma? The Sooner State ranked second in GDP growth, and second in household income. Home values are stable, too, which is an important consideration in a recession, as Oklahoma ranks sixteenth&nbsp;in the nation in homeownership stability.
