population

I was always under the impression that the population in Kansas City, Missouri has exploded upward in recent years. That perception is apparently wrong (partially) based on new data that shows parts of the city are actually shrinking.

Populations come and go as life happens, but one specific Illinois city is shrinking so fast one out of every ten residents has left in the past 5 years alone.

There is a reason why Missouri is known as "the Heartland" to many. It's right in the middle of America and that includes population, but that "center" is on the move meaning it might not always remain in Missouri as a new map shows.

Very few can accurately predict the future, but that hasn't stopped the internet experts from attempting to determine what Missouri's largest city will be 27 years from now. This one is almost certainly gonna be correct though. Maybe.

Population is just a number. Don't tell the 10 smallest Missouri towns that they need a large population to survive. They are still alive and kicking and will not go away and I wouldn't want it any other way.

You can look for a smaller town in Missouri than this one, but you won't find one. Nope. Missouri's smallest town only has 3 residents that call it home, but they're apparently doing quite well, thank you very much.

The city of St. Louis and the surrounding area need to be respected more as a player on a larger national level, the numbers frankly don't lie.

Missouri's population growth is lagging behind the national rate.

Missouri's population continues to grow at a slower rate than the national average.
