The CMBS properties our stress model flags here, plus recent store closures and layoffs. Stressed is a wider net than distressed — the distressed figure above counts only loans already in special servicing or 60+ days delinquent, while these dots also include performing loans facing maturity or coverage pressure. Property dots sit at the center of their ZIP code, not the building — they show where stress concentrates, not which asset. Closures and layoffs are pinned to address where we have it.

Oklahoma City's distress rate climbs as the book bunches toward 2029
Oklahoma City is a small, concentrated CMBS market: $331M across just 26 loans. That compact footprint means individual credits carry weight, and the filed record has turned. The metro's distress rate — loans in special servicing or 60-plus days delinquent — stood at 20.5% as of July 2026, and it has been rising. Against that, the median debt-service coverage ratio of 1.72 points to a book that, in aggregate, still covers its payments, even as the troubled share widens.
The weight of this book sits in one year. Some $180M — 54% of the outstanding balance — matures in 2029, the single heaviest maturity load on the calendar, with the near-term runway through 2028 comparatively light. That concentration is the number to watch here: the metro's refinancing question is deferred rather than immediate, but when it arrives it arrives all at once.
On the ground, the signals corroborate the direction. The past year brought four distress events across the metro — a mix of store closures and layoff notices — and among the 29 banks tracked, four are flagged as distressed with another nine on early warning. Unemployment, at 3.9% in August 2026, has drifted up half a point over the year. None of it is dramatic on its own, but in a market this size the pattern reads clearly: the record is moving the wrong way.

How much CRE distress is there in Oklahoma City, OK right now?
Oklahoma City presents a mixed distress picture. Store closures are not elevated — the metro ranks 128th of 392 by closure count (0.55 closures per 100,000 jobs, 298th by rate), so retail failure is not the story here. Layoff notices (WARN) cannot be read as a signal: the measurement state is not measurable because 0% of this geography's notices report a headcount, so the low reading is an absence of measurement, not an absence of distress.
The pressure sits on the capital side. Bank CRE at lenders over the noncurrent line is elevated at 8.75% — a share of CRE lent into the metro that is noncurrent — ranking 26th of 393 by count and 84th by rate, with $2,144.0 million over the line (only 19.6% of these dollars require no allocation). Securitized loans in special servicing are also elevated at 20.55% of the securitized balance read here, ranking 28th of 335 by count and 19th by rate, though the figure is a FLOOR measured over 50.0% of special-servicing rows. Both bank and CMBS legs are hot, while store closures are quiet — a disagreement pattern that points to bank stress without a visible tenant cause, likely construction or rate resets rather than vacancy, and securitized distress without retail failure, suggesting an office story. Of six pairs, 1 is both elevated, 0 both quiet, 2 disagree, and 3 are unadjudicated because a side is blind.

one metro, four independent feeds, each on its own denominator
114 of 441 metros have at least one blind leg and 48 are blind on all four. Those 48 are the same metros the board's map cannot place and the metro resolver cannot name: one ZIP-to-CBSA crosswalk boundary, showing up three ways.
Elevation is computed on the COUNT, over a flat threshold, which is a size filter. New York is 2nd of 392 by store closures and 264th of the same 392 by closures per job — both true, and which one you lead with decides what the reader believes.
Where two legs disagree, that is usually a fact about WHICH mechanism is running, not an error in either feed and not a worse metro.
A leg with no denominator, or whose numerator cannot be measured, reads LOW and means nothing. Each leg publishes a measurement state (allocated, floor, measured, no denominator, no rate, not measurable) for that reason.
a blind leg is not a quiet one — layoff notices (WARN) cannot be read here. Their low numbers are an absence of MEASUREMENT.
Store closures: divided by 548,618 jobs
— all metro jobs, QCEW annual average — a SIZE normaliser, not a matched population: the feed spans retail, food service and pharmacy and no single QCEW sector covers it. The MATCHED read sits beside it as this leg's second reading (trailing 365 days to today).
Layoff notices (WARN): divided by 753,518 employed
— employed persons, BLS LAUS, not seasonally adjusted (trailing 365 days to today).
Bank CRE at lenders over the noncurrent line: divided by $24,513.1 mm

Jobs & Demand — the labor market under the collateralWatch it change →
Every other zone on this page reads the credit — what the loan is doing.
This one reads the demand underneath it. Office jobs pay office rent;
office rent services the office loan. When the jobs go, the DSCR follows — but not for another year or two.
That lag is the whole point of looking here.

Jobs by CRE-relevant sector · 2024
Annual employment by sector (BLS QCEW, 2024; 548,618 jobs in the metro).
QCEW lags — it is the structural read, not the current one, and we pair it with the monthly unemployment above on purpose.
Office-using sums five supersectors; where BLS withholds any one of them for
disclosure, we show nothing rather than a number we know is too low — so a missing sector here means
“suppressed at the source,” not “zero.”

Realized distress is RISING — 20.5% now (2026-07), +1.6pp over the year.
Same definition as the cards above — distressed means in special servicing or 60+ days delinquent, dollar-weighted — on a different clock. The cards are today’s tape; this is the disclosed history panel, quarter by quarter, so you can read direction rather than level. Trusts file monthly, so a quarter is usually well covered within weeks of opening and the newest one shown is normally the current one; it is withheld only when its filed book falls below 60% of recent quarters.
Share of the metro’s CMBS in special servicing or 60+ days delinquent, by quarter — a firmer, backward-looking read. A loan under 1.0x DSCR that is still paying is not counted here.

The 43 regional and local banks that gather deposits here could write roughly

0.03× that room.

The room above is already part-sold. Construction lending is a promise drawn
down over two or three years, and the undrawn part is an obligation the bank cannot decline while the borrower performs
— every one of those dollars lands in the same CRE book the 300% line governs. These banks
have $1.5B of construction committed and not yet
advanced, of which $967M
comes out of the room above, leaving $1.4B,
with 19 banks
whose entire remaining room is spoken for.
A bank with no room contributes zero here, never a negative one — capacity does not net
across balance sheets — so $573M of what has
been promised is not deducted at all, because there is nothing left to deduct it from. On today’s
capital that is funding already contracted which would cross the line as it draws.
SR 06-26 draws a second line at 100% of capital for construction and land:
12 of 43
are past it on drawn balances alone, and
18 more cross it
once their own commitments fund.

* Two ratios, two perimeters.
The large figure is supervisory CRE over total risk-based capital —
construction, multifamily and non-owner-occupied nonfarm nonresidential. That is the book SR 06-26 draws its
300% line against, and it is what the red coloring and the room contributed are both measured on.
Total beneath it adds owner-occupied CRE — lending to a business on
its own premises — which the guidance deliberately leaves out. A bank can sit well above 300% on total CRE and
still be inside the line, with real room to lend; both are shown so the gap is visible rather than surprising.
How to read this. It is not whether any particular loan can refinance — a borrower also reaches
national banks, life companies, agencies and debt funds. It is how much of this metro’s maturing volume the local
bank sector could absorb if it were the only door.
Banks are placed by deposit share (FDIC Summary of Deposits, June 2026) — a proxy for
where they lend, not a measurement; call reports carry no collateral geography. Room = 3× total risk-based capital less CRE held
(SR 06-26, the capital base the rule names — not book equity), from Q2 2026 call reports, apportioned by that share.
Committed construction comes from FFIEC Schedule RC-L as filed at 2026-06-30 —
the undrawn half of loans already written, which the balance sheet above does not show.
Banks in more than 5 states, single-branch bookers and banks that do not lend CRE are excluded —
315 banks holding $263.8B of national capacity not counted here.

Banks are matched to their HQ metro (a proxy for footprint). Noncurrent CRE = CRE-balance-weighted blend of multifamily / nonresidential / construction noncurrent (distress already arrived). Early Warning is a validated leading signal — the bank’s 30-89 early-delinquency rank among all CRE lenders this quarter, which has predicted ~2.3× forward CRE distress. Per-bank flags are on a plan.

What has actually happened on the ground in Oklahoma City, OK recently?
Over the trailing 365 days in Oklahoma City, OK, the verified ground-level readings show 2 approved store closures, 2 WARN notices, 0 jobs affected, and 0 CRE bankruptcies. Note that jobs affected is a floor because notices stating no headcount still count but contribute 0 jobs, and the CRE bankruptcy figure is a state proxy rather than a metro-native count.

STATE PROXY — a court case counts in its filing district and an SEC 8-K in the filer's state, not where the property is, so this counts CRE-likely filings in the states this metro's collateral sits in. It is not a metro-native count. Each court case is counted once even when both PACER and CourtListener carry it. A court case's state is its filing district; an SEC 8-K or news item carries the filer's state. Coverage widened to both court feeds on 2026-09-16, so counts before and after that date are not comparable.
affected_employees is nullable — notices that state no headcount are counted but contribute 0 jobs, so this is a floor.
Closures are matched ZIP -> CBSA and only APPROVED rows count (a pending, machine-extracted row is not yet a closure). This mirrors the Metro Pulse page, not the convergence board — the board applies neither filter and counts higher. Layoffs take the same ZIP -> CBSA and review treatment, and a WARN notice counts if it affects >= 10 people or does not state a headcount (a NULL is not 'fewer than 10').
