Which census tract in OKC has the highest population density? You think that would be easy to find but I can't.

This is just a guess but it could very well be the area where all the Lyrewood Lane apartments are located.

Let me also add, I would like to also know what the density is.

You may have to go out and count noses and then do a little math, Kerry.

I am sure the data exist from the 2010 census. The Chmaber web site used to contain this kind of data but the link I had in my favorites doesn't take me to the same mapping capability that it used to. I used to be able to pick a point, draw a circle around it, and it would tell me how many people lived inside the circle.

Try this: Welcome to The H+T Affordability Index (http://htaindex.cnt.org)

Use American Factfinder on census site.

You can use this map from NY Times: Mapping the 2010 U.S. Census - NYTimes.com (http://projects.nytimes.com/census/2010/map)


The small tract (about .3 sq mi) northwest of downtown, 1032 is the densest in the city, and I think in the state of Oklahoma - 9,645/sq mi. It includes the jail population.

The west half of May/Memorial/Penn/NW 122 is tract 108313 and has a density of 8,611

Several tracts exceed 7,000/sq mi on the south inner loop. Densest one is: tract 107215 - 8,084 per square mile - approx between May, Agnew, SW 44 and SW 59th

The north inner loop has dense tracts in the 5-7,000 range including neighborhoods like Classen Ten Penn, Mesta Park, Jefferson Park, Central Park, Gatewood, Vegas, Crestwood, Miller, etc. Several tracts on further west and northwest also have densities in this range.

OU campus area of Norman has 9,554/sq mi

Wow - thank you guys soooo much. That NY Times map is exactly what I was looking for. Below is picture of tract 108313 and while it might have a density of 8,611 people/sq mi, it only has 5,374 residents. Would it be unreasonable to assume that C2S should push 20,000 people per sq mile?

Great answer !
