• There is significant income diversity in many of the tracts in the study area that have a relatively high share of households with income both above $100,000 and below $25,000.
The disability share in the study area is above both the national (12.6 percent) and county (13.6 percent) shares but falls below the state share (15.9 percent). • More than 80 percent of residents with a disability are between the ages of 18 and 64. • Younger residents under the age of 18 and older residents ages 65 and over both comprise a relatively small share of total residents reporting a disability. The downtown study area has a very high share of management, business, science and arts occupations relative to the county, state and nation. • Much of the difference in occupational mix relative to the county, state and nation is traced to just two occupations – management and health care. • Management occupations reflect a high number of white-collar managerial jobs across most industries located downtown. • Health care occupations are traced to the presence of SSM Health St. Anthony Hospital, OU Medical Center and the University Research Park in the study area. • The overweighting of jobs in management, business, science and arts occupations results in far lower shares of occupations in the remaining four major occupation groupings. • In comparison, both the county and state closely match the overall national occupational mix for most major and detailed occupation groups.
