A new report from the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City says more people are moving out of Oklahoma to live in other places in the U.S. than moved into the state.
In the report this week, the bank asked the question, “Who has been leaving Oklahoma and will the trend continue?”
Chad Wilkerson, Vice President and Oklahoma City Branch Executive and Courtney Shupert, a Research Associated wrote the article that pointed out there has been a reversal of a 10-year trend in which from 2005 to 2015 Oklahoma attracted more residents than it lost.
The recent net outflow of people has reduced overall state population growth to the slowest rate since 1990. This edition of the Oklahoma Economist investigates the recent reversal in Oklahoma’s net domestic migration to see where people are migrating, which areas are losing residents, which age and education groups have been leaving and the extent to which out-migration may continue.
