Abstract: During the past eleven years Oklahoma's population has increased by approximately 12 percent. Several counties located in the central and southeastern parts of the state have increased from 12 to 40 percent. Since the rate of natural increase during this period approximated three percent, much population increase was due to in-migration from other states and abroad.Given the fact that Oklahoma is gaining in population, and specific areas are growing quite rapidly while others are declining, the purpose of this study is to determine why Oklahoma is relatively popular and why certain counties are gaining population while others are losing.1 Emphasis will be on human and economic characteristics of Oklahoma counties assuming a neoclassical economic framework of mobility.
