Hello,

If you are looking into competition levels for a specific keyword, you can utilize the "Difficulty" rating in Moz's Keyword Explorer. If you are using this tool, you should also be mindful of the "Priority" rating for a keyword which takes into account search volume, competition (difficulty), and opportunity for each term. If you are looking for low competition keywords, I suggest diving into keyword research for long-tail queries that are relevant to your head terms. These are less frequently searched terms but tend to be less competitive and drive more specific visitors.

In terms of the Difficulty, Opportunity, and Priority metrics in Moz's Keyword Explorer, Rand provided great write ups for these explaining these metrics in detail and providing insight into 'sweet spots' for each.
