<strong>Tulsa</strong> 2030 goal analysis<br />

<strong>Tulsa</strong> 2030 Goal would result in about three times as<br />

many new people living in <strong>Tulsa</strong> as under the Trends<br />

Continue Scenario.<br />

East <strong>Tulsa</strong> would receive the largest share of new housing<br />

units, primarily because it has a significant supply of<br />

vacant land. Many of these new homes would be in<br />

neighborhoods designed for walkability and would be<br />

served by nearby town centers. Downtown would receive<br />

about 2,000 new households, thus adding a significant<br />

cadre of urban dwellers in the region’s center.<br />

Job growth and employment space construction would<br />

also be significantly higher under <strong>Tulsa</strong> 2030 Goal than<br />

under Trends Continue.<br />

A sizeable portion of new job growth would occur in East<br />

<strong>Tulsa</strong>, again because of the availability of vacant land.<br />

Downtown would account for almost one fifth of new<br />

jobs, however, and <strong>Tulsa</strong> North would receive one in ten<br />

new jobs added.<br />

In terms of housing choice, <strong>Tulsa</strong> 2030 Goal provides<br />

about the same proportion of single-family units as<br />

Trends Continue. These results are in accordance with the<br />

housing needs analysis described in the Housing Chapter<br />

of this plan. There would be a wider range of single family<br />

home types, however, ranging from large, to medium, to<br />

small lot. In addition, there would be more emphasis on<br />

townhouses. Apartments and condominiums would also<br />

be an important source of housing.<br />
