Don't know if everyone else saw- the Census has released the County population estimates for July 1, 2009. Of course we will have a more accurate picture of demographics when the 2010 Census is complete, but here is the most recent estimate for OKC's MSA:

2008-2009: +19,759 (+1.6%)
2000-2009: +131,857 (+12%)
Note that 2008-2009 was the largest numerical population increase of the decade for the metro.
