MAPS 1-3 transformed our city. Here’s MAPS 4 at work now!

You may have noticed that this is a busy time in the life of MAPS 4. In case you’re curious, here’s a quick rundown on the status of all sixteen MAPS 4 projects.

Housing supply isn’t just about quantity—it’s about the right mix. Three-bedroom homes remain the most common, while 4-bedroom homes have grown from under 20% of 1950s housing stock. As households evolve, home design matters too.

We’re the 21st largest city in the US‼️

Who wants to shout out for OKC?

Hooray‼️

The new Census data for Oklahoma City has been released, and our city population is now officially 719,849. We are the 21st-largest city in the United States.

Also of note, our OKC metropolitan statistical area (MSA), which includes our neighboring suburban cities, has surpassed 1.5 million people for the first time in our history, with an official total of 1,512,813.

Back to the topic of our city population of 719,849: To reach this new total, Oklahoma City added 6,104 residents from 2024 to 2025. This makes us one of the fastest-growing cities among the top 50. Among the top 50 U.S. cities, here are the 12 cities that added the most people from 2024 to 2025. OKC is 12th in growth among the top 50 cities, and if you don’t see a city listed here, you know that they added fewer new residents than Oklahoma City (or in many cases, actually lost residents).

Charlotte - added 20,731 residents
Fort Worth - added 19,512
San Antonio - added 14,359
Seattle - added 11,572
Houston - added 11,515
Nashville - added 9,244
Atlanta - added 8,350
Jacksonville - added 8,319
Columbus - added 7,696
Raleigh - added 7,289
Miami - added 6,393
Oklahoma City - added 6,104

Growth presents challenges, and we’ll be talking in the next year about how we meet the transportation challenges of growth. But growth is also validation that we are continuing to build a city where people want to live. And if you were here already, you’re among the lucky ones.

Congratulations Natalie! 👏👏👏

The newest direction in housing is the return to defined and dedicated
spaces.

Traditional floor plans offer rooms designed for specific purposes, allowing you to create your own custom spaces, offering flexibility and tranquility.

Though open floor plans still have their place in the market, there is a growing segment of homeowners who are looking for more defined spaces. Here are five reasons why buyer preferences are shifting. https://bit.ly/4bs3C8W
