How realistic 4 million is depends on how many people, such as yet more teachers, the bad, insane Republican political atmosphere runs off. If their incumbents are voted back in and a Republican governor is elected in 2018, then I think the population in Oklahoma will stay below 4 million in 2020.

Nice gains in OKC! It's metro population is now bigger than KC right? Also is Durant's population increase due to its being near DFW or no?

You are absolutely correct Oklahoma will not top 4 million by 2020 and Republicans will not lose theirs domination of the state of Oklahoma for the next 40 years.

As of 2016, metro KC is 2.105 million and metro OKC is 1.373 million. As for Durant, that's most likely a big factor, being only 90 miles from downtown Dallas. A few years ago, Bryan County was added to DFW's Combined Statistical Area.

I don't know... Oklahoma needs to add about 19,000 every year until 2020 to meet 4 million, and the state has been adding an average of 28,700 every year since 2010. I think it's possible.

Very few people would want to move to Durant in order to drive 90 minutes to work every day to Dallas, while putting up with all that traffic. Instead, industry has been moving into Durant to a significant degree, including a large casino with hotel towers. Over 5,400 people work for the Choctaw Nation in Durant, which will soon open a huge new HQ building. New stores have been opening. Durant has been strongly rivaling Stillwater as the state's fastest growing city outside of Oklahoma City and Tulsa metros for quite some time.

Especially if oil doesn't dip below $40 a barrel and stays there. But as I already wrote, it will be a wonder if the asinine, vacant headed governing at the State Capitol does not make a lot of people move to a better run state as the next few years go by. A number of people aren't going to put up with sacrificing for the oil companies for years and years on end, for instance, school teachers.

A state, so unlike Oklahoma, that doesn't charge sales tax for food knows how to treat its citizens right, especially the poor ones.

To get an idea what it will be like in the near future in Oklahoma, my Republican State Senator, who won't face reelection until 2020, was quoted as saying, "We need to ensure Oklahoma's economy has stabilized before additional revenue reductions are enacted." This means resuming cutting the state income tax is still a prime desire by Republicans. They still cling to the disproved ideology, or idiocy, that cutting income taxes is guaranteed to bring economic prosperity to Oklahoma. Republicans can't accept the fact that desirable business and industry from the outside look at a bunch of other qualities a state offers besides taxation.

For the time being, I'll have faith that Oklahoma will be able to elect a Democrat governor in 2018, just like Louisiana did in 2015. However, I wouldn't bet my life on it. One of the Republican candidates, Oklahoma City Mayor Cornett is popular in Oklahoma City with some Democrats liking him. At any rate, I think it will be an interesting governor's race to watch.
