Yukon’s current Zillow ZHVI typical home value is $276,372, while Zillow ZORI typical observed market rent is $1,608 per month. That combination implies a 7.0% gross yield before every operating cost, vacancy and financing. Against the ACS median household income of $75,273, the Zillow value equals 3.67x income and ZORI on an annual basis equals 25.6% of income. These are useful first-pass affordability and revenue screens, not a household qualification test or a property cash-flow result.
The ACS describes 10,061 city housing units, with a 4.7% citywide vacancy rate and renters occupying 31.1% of occupied units. Its occupied-housing survey reports a $198,900 owner-reported median home value and $1,274 median gross rent, including contract rent plus selected utilities. These ACS medians are not substitutes for Zillow’s typical home value and observed market rent; their concepts and periods differ and they must not be averaged.
Direct city survey detail shows 49.9% of renter households are cost-burdened. Single-family structures account for 85.6% of housing units, versus 3.4% in large multifamily structures; these shares describe the stock, not purchasable inventory. Among vacant units, 37.0% were for rent, but this vacancy-reason share does not measure units available to an investor or prove quick leasing. Population is 25,529, down 5.2% between overlapping ACS vintages; the change is not annualized and may reflect boundary changes. Median household income is $75,273. City poverty is 8.8% and unemployment is 4.0%; both are descriptive demand constraints, not causes or tenant-level findings.
In Canadian County, county listings had a 50-day median market time and a 20.3% price-reduced share, indicating room to test seller expectations without measuring Yukon liquidity. In the Oklahoma City metro, supply was 3 months and metro payroll jobs changed -0.6% year over year, pairing resale availability with a softer broader labor signal; neither is city-specific. The national Freddie Mac 30-year mortgage rate was 6.66%, a national financing benchmark rather than a quote for a particular Yukon borrower or property.
The central limitation is that city, county, metro and national aggregates cannot supply a specific property’s achievable rent, operating costs, condition or financing. Before deciding, verify the asking price against relevant property-level sales, document current lease terms and concessions, inspect major systems and deferred maintenance, and obtain parcel-specific taxes, insurance and hazard terms. Model management, repairs, capital reserves, utility responsibility, vacancy, turnover, association fees and debt service separately, then stress-test the result; gross yield should remain a screening metric, not the return conclusion.
