LOL. None of my numbers are "incorrect." You are taking the difference of the 2011 population estimate and 2010 Census count. I took the difference of the 2011 population estimate and 2010 population...

You may not think of them that way, but they most certainly are! All of them are within the metropolitan area boundaries. They are indeed disconnected from the urban area of OKC somewhat, but I think...

US Census Bureau population estimates for municipalities will be released in May. The most recent data for individual cities is from the 2010 Census.

Believe it or not, Yukon is actually one of...

New Census Bureau data released today with population estimates of metro areas as of July 2011:

They estimate a population of...

Interesting data. Shows that the cities are indeed more dense than perceived to be, but also shows that the share of people in the OKC and Tulsa MSAs living in urbanized areas is low compared to the...

He's just saying what many others are thinking--that the local enthusiasm about OKC's recent progress has hit extreme levels, and thus the speculation (and expectations) about future growth seems to...

I agree that OKC appeals to many people and particularly Texans because of its slower pace and value versus the big Texas cities. But OKC's economy is a much more critical factor in its growth than...

I was initially shocked as anyone to hear this, but looking at the Census Bureau website (http://www.census.gov/hhes/migration/data/acs/state-to-state.html) I found that it was true not just last...

Edit: found it. ACS state-to-state migration estimates for 2010: http://www.census.gov/hhes/migration/data/acs/state-to-state.html

Hard to say definitively given the margin of error, but still...

Evidence for this claim?

Not gonna happen - SWeNT is an unusual success story in nanomaterials manufacturing made even more unusual given that was an OU spin-off. It's not likely that "nanotech" will ever likely to develop...

There isn't a single stretch of highway in the entire state of Oklahoma that has severe bumper-to-bumper congestion. Not one.

This. If OKC is going to emulate a Texas city to any extent, I would hope it to be Houston, not Austin or Dallas or Ft. Worth. There's no denying Austin's success in attracting the creative class,...

Definitely agree with you on Albuquerque and in general on the impact of nice infrastructure. The transformation of I-40 and construction of the Big I dramatically changed that corridor and really...

Almost all major metro areas have more wealth per capita than OKC. In greater St. Louis 20% of households have an income of over $100k; in OKC, 15.5% do. Median household income in STL is $8k...

At only 110,000 vehicles per day at its busiest section, the six lane Crosstown only saw light congestion at peak hours. It'll be decades before traffic volumes on I-40 swell to the 200k+ range...

Outside of LA, San Antonio seems to be the best fit. SA alone has the population base needed to support a team, plus it will inevitably draw from the Austin market just an hour away. (Austin itself...

I see...my counting may be wrong because I'm equating "prime" steakhouse to any upscale steakhouse/seafood restaurant. But, yes, within roughly a mile radius of my house I count nine and I'm pretty...

No, closer to 1 1/2 times, like I said: 2.104/1.332 = 1.592...but whatever.

Wow, the new freeway looks awesome.

Now if only ODOT would build a Texas-style five-level stack at I-40 and I-44...

Six prime steakhouses in metro OKC (assuming you've listed them all) doesn't exactly seem "saturated" to me when there's at least 10 just within a mile of my place in Austin and probably another 10...

No, not even close. More like 1 1/2 times the population.

Kansas City CSA, 2010: 2,104,853
Oklahoma City CSA, 2010: 1,322,429

I like the size of Kansas City--it's large enough and established...

Of course OKC is actively trying to recruit companies from elsewhere in the country. However, OKC has to compete with its neighbor cities to the south and that's where a lot of corporate relocations...

What's even more amazing to me is that the district-wide reduced lunch rate is 58% for Putnam City. http://www.greatschools.org/cgi-bin/ok/district-profile/411#students
