Figure 2.9: Population growth across various age ranges in Kansas City

Figure 2.10:
Population
growth

Utilizing census information from the Primary
Service Area, the comparisons in Figures 2.6
and 2.7 are possible. Together they illustrate the
growth or decline in age group numbers from the
2020 census until the year 2027. It is projected
all age categories, except -5 and 45-54, will see
an increase in population. The population of the
United States is aging, and it is not unusual to find
negative growth numbers in the younger age
groups and significant net gains in the 45 plus age
groupings in communities which are relatively
stable in their population numbers.
