Broken Arrow sits in both Tulsa County and Wagoner County, according to the Census Bureau's 2020 place records. QuickFacts lists 124,991 residents as of July 1, 2025, up 10.1% since 2020, with 16.0% age 65 or older. Wagoner County is older than the state as a whole: 18.4% of its 93,263 residents were 65 or older in the 2025 estimates, compared with 16.6% in Tulsa County.
The county line matters for home health and hospice agencies, which define service areas by county, and for SoonerCare, since applications go through the local Oklahoma Human Services county office. Say which counties you serve, and do not assume a Broken Arrow address puts a client in Tulsa County.
Ascension St. John Broken Arrow on West Boise Circle is the hospital inside the city. Many residents also use the Tulsa systems, including Saint Francis Hospital South and Hillcrest Hospital South. If you take discharges from these hospitals, name them on your rehab and admissions pages.
Broken Arrow is mostly homeowners. QuickFacts shows 72.0% owner-occupied housing and 88.2% of residents in the same house as a year earlier (2020-2024). Many older adults here are staying put, which makes home health, hospice and in-home care pages worth extra work, and gives assisted living communities a reason to explain the move clearly, from the house to the apartment.
Families searching from Broken Arrow also look in Coweta, Bixby, Jenks, Wagoner and south Tulsa. Mention the ones you serve.
