Population change/distribution does not favor
growth of Tulsa or Oklahoma
 Aging population is creating a 20 year dilemma
of policy, housing, and poverty
 Race and ethnicity is more culturally diverse
with minority population less educated and less
healthy
 Living arrangements indicate fewer marriages,
and more dependence on extended family
 Income instability indicates declining middle
class and more poverty particularly among our
children

