The census released the new growth estimates for 2011 and Tulsa's MSA grew to 946,962 as of July 2011. Tulsa's Consolidated Statistical Area which includes Washington county stood at 998,438 people as of July and likely passed one million sometime in the second half of last year.

  Can anyone find any info on what Tulsa City and Tulsa County population is now?  For some reason I have a devil of a time navigating the government census websites.

Tulsa County is at 610,599.

I don't think they have released the estimates for cities yet.

As is Skiatook.

And Sperry, for that matter.

Skiatook (2010 Census): 7,397
Sperry (2010 Census): 1,206

Granted, not all of Skiatook is in Tulsa County, but Skiatook is a part of Tulsa County.
Change never happened because people were happy with the status quo.

My bad.

Bixby is 21,187.

Some of the Broken Arrow population is Wagoner County.

Skiatook, Sperry, and other  towns are included in Tulsa County's number.

My numbers come from INCOG. They use databases from utility companies combined with census numbers to be as accurate as possible.

1 million is a nice milestone, but we are still growing slower as a % than OKC area - a trend I would like to see reversed .

I hope those numbers aren't true. If so then Tulsa is shrinking.

I hope you can put them all downtown.  We don't need any more traffic/housing out here.

Difference is that OKC has a lot more fenceline to fill in than we do.  We can't really expand much more than we are now.

What were the previous numbers?   Last thing I had seen was a demographic break down of the population numbers.  If it hadn't been for the Hispanic numbers increasing, we would indeed have lost population.  So thats why I was curious as to what the latest figures were.

Should I stick with a 90+ something trash dumpster, or go with something smaller? 

I'm guessing you replied to the wrong subject...

As of 2010 the population of Tulsa was 391,906. It troubles me that our growth has completely stagnated. I don't think we need, nor do I want, massive amounts of growth, but a city not growing at least a little will eventually begin to die.
