The Cameron University Business Research Center sought to understand and quantify housing needs for the Fort Sill military population by considering the changing demand of Fort Sill personnel and dependents in juxtaposition with the supply and demand conditions for housing in Comanche County, Oklahoma, and separately for the applicable military housing area. The Policy Insight model created by REMI was used to discover that there is an adequate number of houses in Comanche County for the entire population including the military population, but the analysis determined that the quality of housing becomes the bigger concern in this study. The report indicated that, even though houses are generally cheaper and rent payments are generally lower than in major metro areas, housing allowances are not adequate for renting good quality houses or apartments.
