Title: 2010 Census Numbers Post by: Composer on November 24, 2008, 01:33:15 pm What will the 2010 Census say about the Tulsa metro area?
Start making guesses on where you think the population of Tulsa and some of the surrounding communities will be in 2010. I have posted the 2000 numbers along with 2007 estimates, in parenthesis, for each city. Tulsa: 393,049 (384,037) Broken Arrow: 74,859 (90,714) Owasso: 18,502 (26,352) Sapulpa: 19,166 (20,908) Bixby: 13,336 (20,091) Sand Springs: 17,451 (18,450) Claremore: 15,873 (17,312) Jenks: 9,557 (14,879) Glenpool: 8,123 (9,545) Coweta: 7,139 (8,867) Catoosa: 5,449 (6,571) Collinsville: 4,077 (4,743) Hopefully our MSA will be even closer to the 1,000,000 mark. Title: 2010 Census Numbers Post by: sauerkraut on November 24, 2008, 02:19:57 pm As you know the city of Tulsa lost alot of people Tulsa's population fell to around 382,000. They moved to the other cities or the Tulsa "burbs". The result will be not much change in the metro area since the same people will be just shuffled around the metro area, instead of getting newcomers from other states. Omaha has a larger population than Tulsa, but Tulsa has a bigger metro area than Omaha. Tulsa's strong economy will attract new residents. I think the latest numbers are Tulsa has a metro population of about 800,000+.[:)]
Title: 2010 Census Numbers Post by: inteller on November 24, 2008, 03:11:27 pm oh I'm sure if the population is down the Tulsa world will blame it on HB1804 or the burbs or some other crap.
I'm not a betting man but if I were I'd say we will be down by the time they start counting in 2010. Title: 2010 Census Numbers Post by: cannon_fodder on November 24, 2008, 03:19:25 pm 53 Tulsa, OK MSA Green Country OK 2007 est: 905,755 2000 census: 859,530
My guess would be 915,000. Population will go up a bit as the economy cools elsewhere and holds the line in Green Country and Oklahoma.

It's larger than Collinsville but seems to always be left out of metro lists... 2000 population: 5,396 2007 estimate: 6,571 Title: 2010 Census Numbers Post by: Composer on November 24, 2008, 09:16:22 pm good call...sorry.
