Is Oklahoma City "Mid-Sized"?

[HOT ROD]

But, our numbers are probably a little over-inflated, because our city leaders back in the day decided to annex everything and anything. We once were the largest city in land area.

Patrick, I dont think OKC's numbers are overinflated. If you consider that OKC's Pop is near 540,000 and much of that is in the urbanized area.

From an earlier post, we now know that OKC's urbanized area is only 244 sq miles, I imagine at least 95% of OKC's city pop is in that urbanized area.

We could spit off 250 sq miles easy, and not lose population. I say, let OK county run the rural and watershed areas. Why does OKC need to do that?
