#7
Per-capita rank among 51 jurisdictions
Oklahoma sits in the higher third for filings per 100k (#7 of 51) - a rate shaped by exemption laws, income, and local legal culture as much as by distress.
Falling multi-year filing trend
Oklahoma in the higher-rate third
In FY2024, Oklahoma recorded 9,421 federal filings at 232.4 per 100k - a higher-third per-capita rate (#7 of 51). Chapter 13 repayment plans are 46% while Chapter 7 is only 53% (lower-third Chapter 7 share) - homeowners curing arrears show up more often than straight liquidations.
A declined 42.5% swing on an already higher-rate state can coincide with credit tightening or a local filing-culture shift - still check the district list before inferring a statewide crisis. 3 districts; business 421. Unemployment 3.3% (2023).
