Tulsa city, OK in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Tulsa city is a mid-size city in Oklahoma, with 412,322 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #2 of 846 ranked by population — larger than 99% of them. The median age here is 35.5 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. At this size the Census also publishes one-year estimates; the five-year values used here are steadier and let you compare against smaller neighbours on the same basis.

Households in Tulsa city earn a median of $58,407 a year, 25.6% below the national figure of $78,538 and 9% above the $53,500 median for the 240 Oklahoma cities we cover. This figure covers the household, not the worker: two people on ordinary wages at one address outrank a single professional in the same table. Poverty reaches 18.6% of residents here, well above the 12.4% national rate, which is the single clearest signal in this dataset that median income here is carried by a narrow band of households.

The typical owner-occupied home in Tulsa city is valued at $189,600, 37.5% below the national figure and 51% above the $125,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs $998 a month, 29% below the national figure, or roughly $11,976 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 20.5% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is within the standard affordability guideline. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 3.2×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 52% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. Rent is reported gross — contract rent plus tenant-paid utilities — which is why it runs above the advertised price on a listing for the same unit.
