Population Growth for OKC

[mugofbeer]

San Francisco lost 65,672 residents form 2000-2023, they currently have 808,988, a drop from 873,965 (2000). Seattle is a safe bet to remain ahead of OKC..

Denver slightly moved the needle with a +0.15% growth rate to 716,577; 13,810 more residents than OKC.

OKC will be the 18th largest city come 2030.

Denver is almost 100% built up. It can pretty much only grow vertically now. Aurora will see significant growth vertically and to the east.

This is probably a time where we will see our city take advantage of downtown land, especially since a site has been picked for the new arena. The City and the ownership wants to see the arena completion moved up one year.

With all the talk about a supertall where the odds are that it will never get built, maybe we'll see more investments in housing. Can't ignore IMO the conservative numbers that suggest Oklahoma City continues to be the nucleus of our state's growth.
