Census 2010

Tulsa has climbed its way back to having nearly the same population it held a decade ago while suburban areas continue to swell, according to Census data.

The Tulsa County population as of July 1 was 613,816, up 5,611 residents since that date a year earlier. That equates to a 0.9 percent annual increase. That's slightly faster than the state population rate of change, which was 0.8 percent for the one-year period. But it also marks the third year Tulsa has seen a decline in its rate of population increase.

In the past decade, Tulsa County's gains in population peaked during the 2007-08 period, when it increased 1.67 percent.

Since 2008, the percentage increase has been smaller each year.

Meanwhile, three Oklahoma counties - two near Oklahoma City and the other in western Oklahoma - are among the fastest growing of U.S. cities with 10,000 or more population.
