Living in Tulsa



Tulsa is a large city located in the state of Oklahoma. With a population of 411,867 people and 142 associated neighborhoods, Tulsa is the second largest community in Oklahoma.

Also of interest is that Tulsa has more people living here who work in computers and math than 95% of the places in the US.

One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 8.42% of the workforce. While this number may seem small overall, as a fraction of the total workforce this is high compared to the rest of the county. These workers are often telecommuters who work in knowledge-based, white-collar professions. For example, Silicon Valley has large numbers of people who telecommute. Other at-home workers may be self-employed people who operate small businesses out of their homes.

Tulsa is one of the most attractive larger cities for people who are young, single, educated, and upwardly-mobile career starters. This makes it a good place to live for young singles in their 20s and 30s and who have undergraduate or graduate degrees and are starting their professional careers. Although Tulsa is a large city, this demographic is significant enough that young professionals will find many others like themselves here, with really good opportunities for friendships, recreation, romance, and more.

The education level of Tulsa citizens is substantially higher than the typical US community, as 32.92% of adults in Tulsa have at least a bachelor's degree.

The per capita income in Tulsa in 2018 was $36,490, which is wealthy relative to Oklahoma, and upper middle income relative to the rest of the US. This equates to an annual income of $145,960 for a family of four. However, Tulsa contains both very wealthy and poor people as well.
