  1. Who is tulsa?…a closer look at a changing city, county and metro area December 19, 2013 Prepared by the Community Service Council Supported by the Metropolitan Human Services Commission

  2. “You cannot improve what you do not understand” Thinking in the Future Tense, Jennifer James, American Cultural Anthropologist

  3. … and we all must better understand the power of population and large numbers as we plan for the future

  4. Starting a Possibly Difficult Conversation About Tulsa’s Future, Its Challenges and Opportunities… Then Aggressively Developing Strategies for Creating Our Preferred Future Out of All Possible Futures

  5. The Tulsa We Knew and Know, and seek to improve • Historically dynamic, innovative, and high quality of life • A community with enormous potential… • To be realized only through better understanding and engaging of change… • Willingness and ability to see and embrace new challenges and opportunities, and… • Greater wisdom, and humility for shaping and sustaining needed action.

  6. A few predictive messages… paying attention and acting now or paying the cost later, our choice The following information refers to the City of Tulsa, Tulsa County, or the MSA except when referring to data for the state of Oklahoma.

  7. overview • #1: City not growing, county only slightly, and the MSA just a bit better • #2: profound changes significantly shaping Tulsa area population and future • #3: population Spatial shifts and distinct concentrations powerful and growing • #4: Education and workforce dramatically impacted, by changes • #5: Poverty and low income, a huge and costly effect • #6: What’s ahead to 2030? • #7: Oh yes, and Don’t forget Tulsa is in Oklahoma that is ranked…

  8. #1: City not growing, County only slightly, and the msa just a bit better • Between 2000-2010 the City lost over 1,000 residents, County gained just over 40,000, almost all due to Hispanic population growth. • Increasingly uneven geographic distribution. • North and west continued long term trend of losing population. • Available housing, especially more rental, helping shape location of population. • Many vacant housing areas in parts of City and County. • Eastern areas rapidly growing due to Hispanic increases. • Young children concentrated primarily in few areas to the east (east Tulsa and Broken Arrow) and in Owasso.

  38. #6: What’s ahead to 2030? • Fertility rates… not anticipated to change, possibly slightly lower among Hispanics. • Births to teens… down but cumulatively still a big number over time with almost 1,000 year in recent years (prelim. 2009-12) in Tulsa County. • Births to unmarried couples… close to 45%. • Maternal education levels… 60% of infants are born to mothers with high school education or less; 23% with less than a high school education. • Multiple births… Many women of most all races and ethnicities with these low education levels have multiple births. • Continued growth of racial/ethnic minorities… Especially Asians and Hispanics.

  39. #6: What’s ahead to 2030? (cont’d) • Workforce increasingly complex and critical… Everyone that is going to be hired for a job has already been born today; more Hispanic and elderly. • Educating and training for all… at least 70% of labor force need some post high school degree, certificate, or award of skill, a huge challenge. • Success unusually difficult… population of young people who will be primarily lower income, poor, and first generation high school grads and beyond. • Aged dependency ratio growing… in 2010 there were almost 2 persons age 25-44 for every person age 65 and over, and by 2030 that number is projected to shrink to 1.4. In 1970 it was 3 to 1.

  43. Challenges Not Unique to Tulsa: what the experts are saying and what to do

  44. 1. Historic Population Change • “The global fall in fertility, even if it does not continue to deepen and spread, is creating a world for which few individuals, and nations, are prepared. Simply stated, this is because population growth and the human capital it creates are part of the foundation upon which modern economies, as well as the modern welfare state, are built.” The Empty Cradle, Phillip Longman

  45. 2. Innovation a Key To Survival • “…once a city attracts some innovative workers and innovative companies, its economy changes in ways that make it even more attractive to other innovators. … this is what is causing the Great Divergence among American communities, as some cities experience an increased concentration of good jobs, talent, and investment and others are in free fall. It is a trend that is reshaping not just our economy but our entire society in profound ways. It implies that a growing part of inequality in America reflects not just a class divide but a geographical divide. “ New Geography of Jobs, EnricoMoretti

  46. 3. Full-employment Will Not Be Our Friend… As Boomers Bail • “As 78 million of us retire, there won’t be enough qualified workers behind us to fill the jobs and grow the economy that’s necessary to support all us new dependents…Communities and companies will fight each other for jobs and qualified workers. Some communities will win and prosper. Others will fail and will be a mess…” • “Managing our communities is a whole new game now… Most of us have no idea what’s in store. I want this book to change the way you think. If enough people understand the gravity of the situation, community dialogue will change. Only then will priorities change and solutions come.” When Boomers Bail, Mark Lautman

  47. Creating New Vision and Action

  48. “Above all, we need to decide which America we want as our future – the America of ever-increasing educational levels, rising productivity, and pragmatic optimism, or the America of deteriorating skills, shrinking horizons, and paralyzing pessimism. We are at one of those major historical crossroads that determine the fate of nations for decades to come.” New Geography of Jobs, Moretti, p. 249

  49. “Population aging and decline need not lead to global depression, environmental strain, or war, but they may well. Nations that do not adapt to the new demographic realities of the twenty-first century – primarily by fostering more rewards to parents and other caregivers, investing heavily in the education of the next generation, and pursuing strategies to allow for more productive aging – stand in danger of being consumed by debt, of losing their ability to innovate, and ultimately of losing their identity.” The Empty Cradle, Longman, p. 44

  50. “Catastrophic full employment isn’t going to happen in every community, but it has the potential to constrain our national economy enough to make us poorer, weaker, more divided and meaner… But if the Boomers continue to bail, and the schools continue to fail, the majority of U.S. communities will be unable to keep their economies balanced with the service demands of their populations. For these losers, it will feel liked perpetual recession. My economic development colleagues and I have three choices: deny, despair, or innovate. For those who choose to innovate our way out, this will be the most exciting time… There are no silver-bullet solutions. But there are things we can do. Some of them are right in front of us, and we should be doing them anyway. “Believe!” When Boomers Bail, Lautman, p. 197
