I am sure Tulsa is still ahead. It is a white collar city while OKC is a blue collar city. However, I am sure the gap has narrowed some since 2000 if you look at the cities as a whole. Tulsa will have by far wealthier zip codes because their wealth is concentrated. That is how Tulsa is able to land so much upscale retail and dining that won't even consider OKC.

Next time you get a chance to make it up to Tulsa, you will have to check out some of the neighborhoods in Midtown and South Tulsa.

The midtown neighborhoods are looking fabulous, and large homes are now being built in the Philbrook area. I think that if there ever was a bad recession in Tulsa, it is now way far in the rear view mirror.

Upscale development is starting to spill outside of Nichols Hills and into OKC. People are buying lots, razing the smaller homes and building large upscale homes. Home renovations are continuing in Mesta Park, Heritage Hills and Crown Heights. Meanwhile, other upscale developments continue in northwest OKC/Edmond.

Over time, a swath of high-income areas will materialize and solidify from west Edmond to Gaillardia, and from Heritage Hills to Nichols Hills.

Neither Tulsa nor Oklahoma City are white-collar or blue-collar dominate cities. Instead, they both are nearly split half-and-half between white- and blue-collar jobs, which I found surprising myself.

I find it more than amazing, its just not true. Nothing wrong with being a white or blue collar town. Making a living is making a living. But as a earlier post stated uptown high dollar places always pick Tulsa because it is known as a white collar town. While traveling I have people tell me they are amazed at the difference of two cities only 100 miles apart. OKC is nice and Tulsa is a nice place and people from the central part of the state shouldn't feel slanted about being a blue collar region..
