CITY THE

HOME TO MORE THAN 1.2 MILLION PEOPLE, OKC is making waves on the international scene as the result of our emphasis on continually improving our city’s quality of life. You can see it on the smiling faces of our people, the urban fabric of our downtown as it continues to grow, the tree-lined historic neighborhoods and arts districts that help to foster our famous friendliness and creative output, the faces of an excited crowd at an NBA Oklahoma City Thunder game, and in a diverse economy that’s among the strongest in the nation.

OKLAHOMA CITY OFFERS EVERYTHING you look for in a modern metropolitan community - an abundance of the arts, quality health care, excellence in education and more. And it does so without high costs, energy shortages, or traffic congestion. It is a distinctly livable city where you can chase your dreams and still enjoy a rich quality of life.

With nearly 250 days of sunshine per year, Oklahoma City is so much more than just “where the wind comes sweeping down the plains.� We enjoy a favorable, seasonally varied climate throughout the year. Summers are sunny and warm, winters are bright and cold, autumn is crisp, and springs are often wet. During the average year, skies are clear or partly sunny 65 percent of the time.
