Logan County, Oklahoma Eviction Risk: Very Low

Logan County scores 2.3/10 (Low) on average across its 14 cities, placing it at rank 16 of 77 Oklahoma eviction laws counties, meaning 15 counties carry higher risk and 61 are more landlord-friendly. That ranking puts Logan County in the higher-risk third of Oklahoma, a detail investors sometimes miss when they see a 2.8 score and assume the market is uncomplicated. At an average rent of $862 and an average rent burden of 30.2%, a meaningful share of tenants are stretched, which historically correlates with higher late-payment rates even where eviction scores stay low.

The intra-county range tells the sharper story: city-level scores run from 1.8 to 3.2, a 1.4-point spread that can flip a portfolio's expected vacancy and legal costs depending on exactly where you own. Landlords evaluating Oklahoma should treat this county as a collection of distinct micro-markets rather than a single homogeneous zone.

The cities inside Logan County

Langston carries the county's highest risk score at 3.2/10 with a population of roughly 1,692. Guthrie, the county's largest city at 11,243 residents, comes in at 2.9/10, as does Cashion at 2.9/10 (population 1,148). These three cities account for the upper end of the risk distribution and deserve closer due-diligence on vacancy rates and court filing history before acquisition.

At the lower end, Mulhall scores 1.9/10 and Cedar Valley scores 2/10, making them two of the more landlord-stable addresses in the county. Crescent Springs comes in at 2.2/10. The gap between Langston and Mulhall illustrates that risk in this county is genuinely hyper-local, and a few miles of distance can materially shift the operating environment.
