Wasn't that 1% in part from when they adjusted the Tulsa MSA boundary to include Muskogee & it's county, which prior to that had been a separate micropolitan area, though still part of the Tulsa CSA

No that was the CSA population which is now 1,131,458. The MSA is at 969,224. The city of Tulsa growth was closer to 1% from 2012 to 2013 when it increased by 3,894.
