Title: "Cool" vs "Not Cool" Post by: tulsatype on May 10, 2005, 08:39:28 am Some recent posts debated the consultant’s efforts to make Tulsa more “cool.” Since Austin was labled a “cool” place I wanted to see what effect that had on population. Using the census data and rounding to the nearest 1,000 I found the following for population (using country statistics):
1950 – Tulsa 252,000 Austin 161,000 1970 – Tulsa 402,000 Austin 296,000 1990 – Tulsa 503,000 Austin 576,000 2000 – Tulsa 563,000 Austin 812,000 Looks like “cool” trumps “good place to raise a family” any day. |
