THE CITY OF GRANDVIEW, MISSOURI – COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Chapter Two – Demographics and Retail Market Assessment CHAPTER TWO – DEMOGRAPHICS AND RETAIL MARKET ASSESSMENT POPULATION TRENDS National and Regional The US Census Bureau's 2000 census brief stated that the United States' 1990 to 2000 population increase of 32.7 million was the largest in American history. The previous record increase was 28.0 million people between 1950 and 1960, a gain fueled primarily by the post-World War II baby boom (1946 to 1964). Total decennial population rate of growth declined steadily in the three decades following the 1950s' peak before rising again in the 1990s. Population growth varied significantly by region in the 1990s, with higher rates in the West (19.7%) and South (17.3%) and much lower rates in the Midwest (7.9%) and Northeast (5.5%). Meanwhile, despite overall population growth in each of the past five decades, the Midwest ’s share of total United States' population fell from 29% to 23 %. City of Grandview Population Growth Comparisons According to the 2000 census, the City of Grandview’s population is 24,881 a decrease of 54 people (less than 1%) from the 1990 census (Ref. Table 1, Fig. 1). A comparison with a "Control Group" of similar by sized and situated cities in the region show similar trends of stable or declining populations in most first-ring suburban cities. During the 1990s, with the exception of Belton, MO, which increased in population by over 20%, all other cities in the “Control Group” either lost population or experienced a marginal increase of less than 1%. Jackson County registered an increase of over 21,000 people, (3.4%) during the 1990’s while the Kansas City Metro Area grew by 12.2%, which is 4% higher than the average for the Midwest region. While higher growth rates have been registered in other parts of the metro area in second-ring suburbs, Grandview has proven itself to be a stable community during the 1980s and 1990s following a 1960-1980 high growth period.

Between 1970 and 2000, the population of the City of Grandview increased by about 43% and that of the Kansas City Metropolitan Statistical Area by about 28%. The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) defines Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSA) as a large population nucleus, together with adjacent communities having a high degree of social and economic integration with that core.1 Growth indices, which are a means of comparison of growth rates of different entities, assuming the base population of 1 for each entity, show that most of the growth in Grandview occurred between 1970 and 1980. The decade of the 1990s saw most of the metro area growth in the second and third-ring suburbs. In spite of the slight decline in Grandview's population during the 1990s, future residential development in Grandview should result in moderate increases in population while current population forecasts show that the Kansas City MSA is likely to experience even more growth in the near future. 1 The Kansas City MSA includes 11 counties: Johnson, Kansas; Leavenworth, Kansas; Miami, Kansas; Wyandotte, Kansas; Cass Missouri; Clay, Missouri; Clinton, Missouri; Jackson, Missouri; Lafayette, Missouri; Platte, Missouri; and Ray Missouri.

In 1980 about 90% of the population in Grandview was white. In 2000 that percentage dropped to 62%. At the same time minority population increased from 9% to 38% (Ref. Table 2 Figure 2). Most of the numerical increase in minority population was in the African-American community. While the highest percentage increase was in the Hispanic community, with a 121% increase between 1990 and 2000. However, the Hispanic community, as a percentage of the total population, is only 4.3%. The Control Cities show a similar racial trend, though to a lesser degree.
