Oklahoma City is one of the top 3 places Gen Zers are buying homes? Are kids moving to Oklahoma City? I can’t imagine kids Californicating Oklahoma. That won’t be accepted there.
Oklahoma County is one of the few Republican-leaning urban counties left. However, Democrats have been making gains over the last several years. Several long-time Republican-held state house seats in the OKC area flipped to Democrat a few years ago. The 5th Congressional District elected Democrat Kendra Horn in 2018 based on Democrat strength in the Oklahoma County portion. But, she was then defeated by Republican Stephanie Bice in 2020. Also, Trump only won the county by 1% in 2020 after winning it by 10% in 2016. Of course, there could have easily been some shenanigans with the voting here as there was in other urban counties in 2020. Despite the Democrat gains, the Republican OKC mayor David Holt easily won reelection earlier this year, so Republicans may still be doing fairly well there for now.
