Executive Summary  

 

 

Oklahoma’s population is projected to top 5 million by the time the state celebrates its 150th birthday.   

 

By the 2020 Census, Oklahoma’s population will top 4 million  

By the mid 2050s, Oklahoma’s population will top 5 million  

By 2075, Oklahoma’s population will top 5.5 million  

 

Oklahoma’s population is forecast to grow at an average annual rate of 0.73% over the next 65 years,   

equivalent to the US Census Bureau’s most recent national growth forecasts through 2050.  The Census 

Bureau does not have state level population forecasts.

Counties surrounding present day Tulsa and Oklahoma City metro areas are forecast to see substantial 

population growth.  In 2010, the 14 counties currently included in the Tulsa and Oklahoma City MSAs 

combined to represent 58.4% of the state’s total population but by 2075, those same 14 counties are 

forecast to represent 64.2% of the state’s total population.  Tulsa and Oklahoma counties alone will 

combine to represent 35.6% of the state’s population.

There are 25 counties in Oklahoma forecast to experience population decline over the next 65 years.  

Many of these counties, mostly in western Oklahoma, experienced their peak population levels in 1910, 

shortly after Oklahoma achieved statehood.  While these counties are expected to continue to 

experience population declines, the rate of decline is expected to slow over the coming decades.

Oklahoma’s population is also expected to live longer on average.  An increasingly larger percentage of 

the state’s population will gradually be made up by older population groups.   

 

In 2010, 13.5% of the state’s population was aged 65 or older 

By 2075, 19.8% of the state’s population will be aged 65 or older

Methodology 

General discussion of projection formulas State level projections used in this report start with population counts revealed under the 2010 

Decennial Census and follow generally accepted forecasting routines developed by the US Census 

Bureau.  For simplicity, the basic demographic formulas used in this report are as follows: 

Population in the current year 

+ Births in the current year 

‐ Deaths in the current year 

+ Net migration 

Equals 

Population projection for the next year 

 

Population projection for the next year 

+ estimated births in the current year, based on fertility rates and # of women of child bearing age 

‐ Deaths in the current year 

+ Net migration 

Equals 

Population projection for the following year 

 

What population groups are included in projections All population figures cited in this report, whether historic counts or forward looking projections, include 

the following: 

All civilian residents living within the state 

Members of the US Armed Forces stationed within Oklahoma 

All persons incarcerated in the state of Oklahoma, including out of state prisoners held at 

private prisons located within the state

Projection of births and fertility rates This report uses statewide total fertility rates from Table S1301 of the US Census Bureau’s 2006‐2010 

American Community Survey.  Based on survey responses gathered over 5 years, Table S1301 reports 

the rate of births per 1,000 women by three age categories.  Table S1301 indicates Oklahoma’s rate of 

women with births in the past 12 months (an annual time frame) were: 

Among women aged 15‐19 there were 37 births per 1,000 women 

Among women aged 20‐34 there were 113 births per 1,000 women 

Among women aged 35‐49, there were 15 births per  1,000 women    

A summary of Table S1301 is included in Appendix 1. 

While birth rates have been generally declining across the United States and in Oklahoma for some time, 

that rate of decline has also been slowing in recent years.  Further, the state’s growing Hispanic 

population typically has a higher birth rate than the rate shown for the population in total.   

This report does not project populations by race or ethnicity, but it is assumed that the state’s Hispanic 

population will continue to grow.  As the percentage of Hispanics in Oklahoma increases, it is also 

assumed that the rate of decline in the state’s overall birth rate will slow or possibly reverse. Because of 

the uncertainty surrounding the longer term direction for birth rates in Oklahoma, the population 

projections in this report assume that the overall birth rate will remain constant over the longer term.   

 

 Projection of deaths United States survival rates by single age and gender for 2007 were obtained from the US Centers for 

Disease Control at http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/nvsr/nvsr59/nvsr59_09.pdf and are included in 

Appendix 2.   

National survival rates were used to calculate Oklahoma life expectancy for each age group over the 

next 65 years.  Those survival rates are not likely to remain static with improvements in health care 

technology and Oklahoma embarking on efforts like smoking reduction programs and diabetes 

awareness efforts to change the state’s overall health characteristics.  However, the rapid onset of other 

health concerns, like the national epidemic of obesity, could also adversely impact the state’s longer 

term life expectancy figures.   

Because of the difficulty in forecasting future changes in life expectancy, Oklahoma’s age specific 

survival rates are assumed to remain constant for the purposes of the populations projections contained 

within this report.

Projection of net migration As difficult as the previous variables are to project, migration is likely even more difficult to gauge.  As 

the state’s previous population projections report stated following the release of the 2000 Census 

results, “The only consistency in Oklahoma’s recent migration history has been its unpredictability.” 

How volatile is this component of population growth?  Between 1970 and 1983, Oklahoma’s overall 

population growth rate grew at a heated pace, reaching peak annual growth of 3.6% in 1982.  Some less 

populated counties in eastern Oklahoma, driven in part by new oil discoveries and well construction, 

experienced double digit annual percentage growth.  Then by 1987 the state’s annual population growth 

rate dropped to ‐1.3% and some of those same double digit growth counties were showing nearly 

double digit declines.  Appendix 3 shows more detailed information about the history of Oklahoma’s 

components of population change, including net migration figures.   

Between 1960 and 2011, Oklahoma’s population gain due to net migration averaged slightly over 10,000 

people annually, with swings ranging from a gain of 80,500 in 1982 to a decline of 61,000 in 1987.  

Ignoring the volatility found in the 1970s and 1980s, and limiting net migration to the 1990s and 2000s, 

Oklahoma’s average annual net migration gain was just under 15,000.  For this analysis, the state’s 

annual population growth figure has been assumed to run at a consistent rate of adding 15,000 people 

annually.   

 

County population projections County population projections were obtained using a more generalized process than the statewide 

approach already outlined above.  Linear regression trendline formulas, based on population patterns 

from 1960 to 2011, were deemed sufficient to develop county population projections for 64 of 

Oklahoma’s 77 counties.  For the remaining 13 counties, straight linear regression formulas yielded 

unrealistic population levels and another option needed to be used.   

Linear models were judged to be insufficient for Alfalfa, Cimarron, Dewey, Ellis, Grant, Greer, Harmon, 

Harper, Kiowa, Roger Mills, Tillman, Washita and Woods counties.  For these counties, a curved, or 

power, trendline was judged to be a better fit.   

Statistically, trendline formulas have a measure of ‘fit’ known as the r‐squared value.  The closer the r‐

squared value is to a value of one, the better the formula matches up with actual population figures. 

Going one step further, the higher the r‐squared value, the better the assumed predictability of future 

values.  This report includes both the trendline formula used for each county’s population, plus the 

associated r‐squared value as a measure of how well the formula fits the historic population levels and 

how well the formula might predict future populations, all other things being held constant.

Matching up the two methodologies Statewide estimates have been developed using two different methods, each arriving at a similar 

conclusion before balancing.  With each method acting as a comparative “check” against the other, it is 

believed these estimates are as accurate as possible, excluding any unforeseen changes in economic or 

political condition. 

 

When the Census Bureau develops annual population estimates based on birth, death and migration 

data, they encounter situations where the sum of the parts doesn’t exactly equal the expected whole.  

To resolve the issue, they use a balancing figure that effectively serves as a “margin of error” within 

their birth, death and migration figures.  This report used a similar approach to unify the results of the 

statewide methodology with the county level methodology. 

 

Summing county level population projections yielded a population total that was comfortably close to 

the state level population projections, but there was a small degree of difference that necessitated a 

slight population adjustment at the statewide level.  Over the course of the 65 years between 2010 and 

2075, the required adjustment averaged 0.2% of each year’s total population.  This was deemed an 

acceptable range of variation and was added into the statewide population total for balancing purposes.

Oklahoma Statewide  

 

Oklahoma’s statewide population projection was built using the sum of population projections for all 77 

counties.  Annual growth rates are forecast to average 0.73%.  This is similar to the state’s average 

annual growth rate of 0.80% over the last three decades, and equivalent to the US Census Bureau’s 

forecast for the national growth rate through 2050.   

The following pages contain tables showing Oklahoma’s statewide Decennial Census populations going 

back to statehood; annual population estimates going back to 1960; population projections from 2012 

to 2075; and population projections by 5 year age group through 2075 for males, females and the total 

population.

Adair County’s population is forecast to grow at approximately 0.78% on an average annual basis over 

the next 65 years.  This forecast was developed using a linear regression trendline based on the county’s 

population change between 1960 and 2010.  The regression formula appears to have a strong degree of 

fit, with only limited year to year variation from forecasts expected.

Beckham County  

 

 

Beckham County’s population is forecast to grow at an average annual rate of 0.38% over the next 65 

years.  Volatility in the county’s population over the last 50 years, historically influenced by 

developments in the energy sector, reduces the overall fit of this county’s linear regression trendline.  

Up and down swings in population from year to year are expected to continue, much like they have 

since 1960.  However, the long‐term growth trend is expected to generally follow the levels indicated by 

the graph above.

Blaine County  

 

 

In 2010, after 12 years of operation, a large private contract correctional facility in Blaine County closed.  

Those inmates represented approximately one sixth of the county’s population before being transferred 

to other facilities. Efforts to reopen the prison continue but are uncertain at this point. Population 

forecasts for Blaine County assume the prison remains closed. There is a high level of long term 

uncertainty associated with projections for Blaine County.

Bryan County’s population is forecast to average a 0.80% annual growth rate over the next 65 years.  

While Bryan County has shown an unusually high rate of growth over the last five years, expanding by an 

average annual rate of 2.1%, the long term trend is expected to level off.  The linear regression trendline 

shows a strong degree of fit and should be a good predictor of county growth patterns.

Caddo County’s population growth rate has been relatively flat since 1960, with a 0.07% growth rate and 

a small degree of volatility in the total population count.  A linear regression trendline based on 

population patterns over the last 50 years indicates that this flat rate of growth will continue between 

now and 2075, growing at an average annual rate of 0.06%.   While the exact population counts from 

year to year may show variation up and down from these projections, the population as a whole is 

expected to remain relatively stable.

Canadian County’s population has grown by an annual average 3.8% over the last 5 years, far outpacing 

growth rates for the state as a whole.  Over the next 65 years, Canadian County is forecast to experience 

an average annual 1.55% growth rate, based on a linear regression trendline of population data since

Carter County  

 

 

Over the next 65 years, Carter County’s population is forecast to grow at an average annual rate of 

0.43%.  This is virtually equal to the 0.44% average annual rate experienced since 1960 and only slightly 

below the 0.54% average annual population growth rate experienced over the last two decades.  While 

population volatility in the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s reduces the overall fit of the linear regression 

trendline and may indicate some year to year variation for long term forecasts, the variation is expected 

to balance out over time.

Choctaw County is forecast to experience a slight average annual population decline of ‐0.16% between 

2010 and 2075.  Population volatility in the 1970s reduces the overall fit of the linear regression 

trendline, but year over year variation in the long term population forecast is expected to be relatively

Comanche County is forecast to experience 0.31% population growth between 2010 and 2075.  The 

County has experienced continued up and down swings in population since 1960, but the long term 

trend has remained generally positive.  A linear regression trendline based on population data over the 

last 50 years shows how wide those swings have been, and similar swings around forecasted population 

counts are expected to occur between now and 2075.

Custer County  

 

 

Custer County is forecast to have a 0.39% average annual rate of population growth over the next 65 

years.  A linear regression formula based on the county’s population data from 1960 to 2010 shows a 

lower degree of fit, but that is largely due to a strong population growth spurt followed by a sharp 

population decline during the 1980s.  Removing that one‐time peak would result in a significantly 

improved overall fit for the regression formula.  Some year to year variation from forecasts is expected.

Delaware County  

 

 

Delaware County is forecast to experience an annual average growth rate of 1.43% over the next 65 

years.  The linear regression trendline is an excellent fit with the historic pattern of growth experienced 

by the county over the last half century, and should be a very good indicator of future growth trends.  

Little year to year variation is expected.

Dewey County  

 

 

Dewey County is forecast to have a continued decline in population, but the pace of that decline is 

forecast to slow over the next 65 years.  On average, the annual rate of decline is forecast to be ‐0.32%.  

While Dewey County experienced some population growth in the late 1970s and early 1980s, led by 

growth in the energy sector, the overall trend has been downward since the 1930s.  A power regression 

trendline based on population data from the last 50 years indicates the population will slowly drop 

below 4,000.

average annual rate of 0.05%.  A linear regression trendline based on population history for the last 50 

years indicates slow but relatively steady growth, but the quality of the formula’s fit shows a high 

likelihood of year to year variation from the overall trend.

Greer County  

 

 

Greer County’s population history over the last 50 years indicates a slow but consistent rate of 

population decline, forecast to average ‐0.42% annually over the next 65 years.  A power regression 

trendline for the county’s population since 1960 indicates a high degree of fit, leading to the conclusion 

that there will be little year to year variation from the overall long term population forecasts.

Hughes County  

 

 

Hughes County is forecast to have a ‐0.16% average annual rate of population decline over the next 65 

years.  Between 1960 and 2011, the county experienced a ‐0.16% average annual rate of population 

decline, with some year to year variations in population data.  That same pattern is expected to 

continue through 2075.  While the level of fit for Hughes County’s linear regression trendline is 

somewhat low, the general population trend is expected to follow the forecasted slowly declining 

pattern.

Jefferson County  

 

 

Jefferson County is projected to experience a declining rate of population growth, with a ‐0.52% average 

annual rate of decline projected through 2075.  Since 1960, Jefferson County experienced an average 

annual rate of decline of ‐0.42% and a linear regression trendline on the county’s historic population 

data indicates that the rate of decline will pick up slightly over the next 65 years.  The trendline’s level of 

fit, while strong, indicates that there will be some year to year variation in the overall population 

patterns.

Kay county is forecast to experience an average annual rate of population decline of ‐0.16% over the 

next 65 years.  This is slightly below the ‐0.18% average annual rate of decline indicated by county 

population patterns since 1960.  The level of fit for the county’s linear regression trendline is relatively 

strong, but subject to some volatility.  However, even after accounting for high growth rates 

experienced in the 1980s, the long term trend has been for a slow population decline overall.  Some 

year to year variation in the population forecasts can be expected.

Kingfisher County  

 

 

Kingfisher County’s population growth rate is expected to average 0.32% annually between now and 

2075.  The county has averaged 0.83% annual population growth since 1960, with very high growth 

rates in the early 1980s followed by high population declines in the late 1980s.  A linear regression 

trendline drawn from the county’s population data over the last half century indicates a somewhat weak 

level of fit because of that volatility.  While the overall trend is for positive growth, year to year 

variations can be expected.

Kiowa County is forecast to experience a slowing rate of population decline over the next 65 years, 

averaging a ‐0.39% decline through 2075.  The rate of decline is anticipated to be higher in the short 

term, and slower in the long term.  Between 1960 and 2010, the region experienced an annual average 

decline of ‐0.73% in population. A power regression trendline indicates a strong fit so while year to year 

variation from the county’s population forecasts can be expected, they are anticipated to be relatively 

small.

but the overall fit is expected to remain fairly strong.  Some year to year variation in population

Le Flore County is forecast to experience a 0.89% average annual growth rate through 2075, slightly 

above the forecast rate for Oklahoma’s overall growth.  A linear regression trendline based on the last 

50 years of population data shows a strong level of fit, indicating that year to year variation from the 

long term forecast may be relatively small.

years, following the growth pattern indicated by a linear regression trendline of population patterns 

going back to 1960.  This is slightly higher than the expected statewide average annual growth rate of 

0.73%.  The level of historical fit for the trendline is strong, indicating likelihood that year over year 

variation from forecast population levels will be relatively small.

Logan County  

 

 

Logan County’s population is forecast to achieve an average annual population growth rate of 1.02% 

over the coming 65 years. It should be noted that since 2005 the county has averaged an annual growth 

rate of 3.64% and that the county may be entering a growth spurt similar to the early 1980s.  However, 

that spurt ultimately returned to the long term growth rate indicated by the linear regression trendline 

in the above graph.  The level of fit is strong, so year to year variation overall is expected to be low.

Love County  

 

 

Love County is forecast to experience an average annual growth rate of 0.87% over the next 65 years.  

This is slightly above the anticipated statewide growth rate of 0.73%.  A linear regression trendline 

based on the county’s population patterns going back to 1960 indicates a strong fit overall, with a higher 

likelihood that forecast populations will be on target over the long term.  Some year to year variation in 

population projections are to be expected, but should be relatively small.

Major County  

 

 

Major County is forecast to experience a slow level of population decline over the coming 65 years, 

averaging an annual growth rate of ‐0.14%.  High volatility in the county’s population, particularly during 

the 1970s and 1980s, hold strong influence on the linear regression trendline’s overall measure of fit.  As 

a result, it is likely that the long term forecasts will experience a high level of year to year differences 

when measured against final population counts.  Over the long term, however, the downward trend is 

expected to continue.

Murray County is forecast to have a 0.38% average annual population growth through 2075, down 

slightly from the 0.54% population growth rate over the previous 50 years. Very high population growth 

rates experienced during the late 1970s and early 1980s help to bring down the overall fit of the linear 

regression trendline and the county may expect to see year to year up and down swings away from 

forecast population levels.

the context of the county’s total population.  As a result, the linear regression formula drawn on that

average annual growth rate of 0.00%.  Some swing up and down is likely during that span.  Over the last 

50 years, the county has experienced a very slight average annual rate of decline equaling ‐0.06%.  The 

level of fit indicated by the linear regression model is very poor when it comes to predicting year to year 

population values, though the long term trend is expected to be fairly accurate.

Oklahoma County is forecast to experience an annual average growth rate of 0.69% over the next 65 

years, slower than the growth rate expected by the state as a whole.   Between 1960 and 2010, 

Oklahoma County grew at an average annual rate of 1.27%.  In the coming decades, growth is expected 

to gradually shift to neighboring counties. A linear regression trendline indicates a strong level of fit 

against historic population trends, and year to year variations against forecast are expected to be 

relatively low.

Okmulgee County  

 

 

Okmulgee County is forecast to see a low annual growth rate, averaging 0.17% between now and 2075.  

This is equal to the average annual growth rate experienced between 1960 and 2010.  Volatility in 

population levels over the past 50 years mean that the trendline’s fit against actual results is strong but 

not without up and down swings.  Year to year variation from long term population forecasts are 

expected.

only slightly below the 0.25% average annual growth rate experienced since 1960.  A linear regression 

trendline based on the last half century of data indicates a fair level of fit, though there have been some 

population swings up and down during that time.  For that reason it is expected that there will be year

path.

Roger Mills County is forecast to experience an average annual decline in population of ‐0.46% over the 

next 65 years.  The rate of decline is expected to be most pronounced in the short term, with the rate of 

longer term population decline expected to gradually slow.  A power regression trendline based on

Stephens County is forecast to experience a gradual rate of population growth, averaging 0.34% 

annually.  This is nearly identical to the county’s historic average annual growth rate of 0.37%.  Strong 

growth in the 1970s and early 1980s, offset by a declining population level in the late 1980s, combine to 

reduce level of fit for a linear regression formula based on the last 50 years of population trends.  Year 

to year variation from forecasts are likely, but the long term trend of population growth is expected to 

continue.

Texas County is forecast to experience an average annual population growth rate of 0.54% over the next 

65 years.  A steep drop in population experienced in the late 1980s was offset by a rapid increase in 

population over the 1990s.  That shift in population reduces the overall fit of the county’s linear 

regression trendline, but outside of that time period, the match remains strong.  Some year to year

Tillman County is forecast to experience a continued population decline, averaging ‐0.55% annually 

between now and 2075.  The rate of decline is expected to be most pronounced in the short term, with 

a gradual slowing in the longer term.  Between 1960 and 2010, the county experienced an average 

annual rate of decline of ‐0.91%.  A power regression trendline based on that time period yields a strong 

fit, with slight year to year variation from forecasts expected.

Tulsa’s average annual growth rate of 1.49% from the prior 50 years, but reflects a similar growth 

slowdown expected to occur statewide and nationally.  A linear regression trendline drawn over the

Washington County  

 

 

Washington County is forecast to have an average annual growth rate of 0.37% over the next 65 years.  

The county experienced strong population growth in the 1970 and early 1980s, but that growth was 

partially offset by population declines over the mid to late1980s.  These events combine to reduce the 

overall fit for the county’s linear regression trendline.  While some year to year variation in population 

forecasts can be expected, the long term positive growth trend is expected to continue.

Woodward County  

 

 

Woodward County is forecast to have a 0.45% average annual rate of population growth between now 

and 2075.  The county has experienced significant population variation during the last 50 years, with a 

peak experienced in the early 1980s, followed by a sharp population decline.   The resulting spike 

reduces the overall fit of a linear regression trendline, indicating that some year to year population 

variation from forecasts can be expected.
