About Tulsa

Tulsa is a large city located in the state of Oklahoma. With a population of 393,051 people and 120 constituent neighborhoods, Tulsa is the second largest community in Oklahoma.

Unlike some cities, Tulsa isn't mainly white- or blue-collar. Instead, the most prevalent occupations for people in Tulsa are a mix of both white- and blue-collar jobs. Overall, Tulsa is a city of sales and office workers, professionals, and service providers. There are especially a lot of people living in Tulsa who work in office and administrative support jobs (17.22%), sales jobs (12.47%), and management occupations (8.93%).

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.

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.

One of the benefits of Tulsa is that there is very little traffic. The average commute to work is 18.61 minutes, which is substantially less than the national average. Not only does this mean that the drive to work is less aggravating, but noise and pollution levels are lower as a result.

Tulsa is one of the most car-oriented large cities in America. A full 95.4% of people drive their car alone to work each day. If you like to drive, you'll love it. And you better. Because walking to work is just not a viable option for most people who live in Tulsa. Highways, wide streets, parking lots, and shopping centers are part of the common Tulsa landscape.
