Oklahoma As 100 People

As Oklahoma’s population moves closer to 4 million, statistics can offer a means in which to picture this complex state simply: Oklahoma as 100 People. Oklahoma as 100 People provides a mosaic of the state’s population proportionally represented by 100 individuals, based on criteria such as age, race, poverty, education, and health.
