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.

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.

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.
