OK Policy and the Oklahoma Asset Building Coalition are pleased to partner with CFED to release the 2009-2010 Assets and Opportunity Scorecard, a comprehensive look at wealth, poverty and the financial security of families. The Scorecard ranks states in 6 issue areas: Financial Assets and Income; Businesses and Jobs; Housing and Homeownership; Health Care; Education; and Community Investment and Accountability.
This presentation provides an overview of the project and its main findings for Oklahoma. You can view the presentation or download it as a PDF file.
