Recently, one of our webby friends asked . . .
Where are the new residents of Kansas City, MO moving from?
And so, here's a bit of info about Kansas City population trends . . .
"From 2010 to 2016, the metro area grew from 2,013,735 to 2,104,509, an increase of 90,774 residents. This increase of 4.5% makes the region the #159 fastest growing MSA over that period, and the 33 fastest growing area with a base population of over a millions
"Certainly some of the population growth can be attributed to birth rate, but where are all the other people coming from?"
And so . . .
Top 5 areas sending residents to Kansas City, MO:
1. Lawrence, KS
2. St. Louis, MO-IL
3. Springfield, MO
4. Columbia, MO
5. Wichita, KS

ReplyDeleteIdiot magnet
ReplyDeleteGosh
ReplyDeleteBut I though according to you guys, people were fleeing killa city? What happened? I thought KC was Detroit. What happened?
ReplyDeleteEven Detroit metro is growing. That's what populations tend to do. However, the urban core continues to shrink here and throughout the United States.
DeleteFuck Kansas City, who the hell would ever want to live there or, more accurately, die there??
ReplyDeleteThat makes perfect sense. Those 5 cities are all shitholes with nothing to do.
ReplyDelete@9:07AM apparently you do, because you are on here commenting about it. Nice try though.
ReplyDeleteIt's a big enough city you can socialise with Marxists or even possible postmodernist though hipsters fucked that up
ReplyDeleteWhat type of people are coming? Important question.
ReplyDeleteJohnson County welcomes you!
ReplyDeleteIf you can act right.
And don't expect handouts, or $15 an hour.
Loved the comment about the 65,000 visitors. Who came up with THAT number, for crying out loud. If you drive through downtown any day of the week, there aren't 1,000 on the streets. Even the Plaahza doesn't have that kind of density. Facts, please...
ReplyDeleteHey, 11:55--
ReplyDeletethose 65000 folks are all ducked down low on the trolley so the surveyers cannot see them to count them.
Lets not go stuffing ten pounds of shit into a five pound bag. There is a huge difference between regional growth and folks moving to the city of KCMO. Do your homework and you will see that the growth is regional with only a slight peripheral effect in the city proper. No one in their right mind wants to own a piece of KC or reside in a shit hole.
ReplyDeleteI tell people all the time if they are looking at buying a house not to buy one in Kansas City, one of the suburbs but not KC you will regret it.
ReplyDeleteI have a kick me sign on my ass because I didn't follow my own advise.
Only half the people who buy a house make a profit.
ReplyDeleteGood observation, 1:22.
ReplyDeleteI guess Mayor James is leading the trend...he does not own a home. He rents, at 108 E 30th, on Union Hill.
Then there is Jolie Justus, who is running for Mayor. And despite working for the law firm whose client is Burns & McDonnell, she still has not paid her 2016 Personal Property Tax to the City/county. Just like Sly James did, when he ran for re-election.
KCMO is rotting.

ReplyDeleteLook it up. I'm sure you don't understand.
Looking things up is a woman's job.
