[edit] Metro population
I have again re-corrected the metro area population top slightly OVER two million people. The Kansas City Star confirmed this and as usual with KC star articles, they are removed after 90 days. I have found a local NBC affiliate article that confirms the above statement. Kcuello (talk) 04:24, 25 November 2009 (UTC)
- I don't really care which stat is used but I will add this: WikiProject Cities suggest that census figures should be stated first and used in the infobox and then other figures can be used to supplement that information. That said, I'm sure when the population estimates for 2009 are released in March they will show a metro population over two million. Grey Wanderer (talk) 19:41, 25 November 2009 (UTC)
There's a need to include a demographics section for the Kansas City Metro area. The 2010 United States Census report a large growth rate of ethnic/racial minorities, where the Hispanic community tripled in size in the 2000s and the Asian American population increased in size by 6 times in the same time. In the past decade, African immigrants and others from Southeast Asia arrived in the KC metro area, as well throughout Missouri with the states of Iowa, Kansas and Nebraska made the Central Plains region among the nation's most diverse in terms of racial and ethnic composition in urban areas of St. Louis, Omaha, Des Moines and Wichita.
A high density and concentration of South Asians, Burmese people, Filipinos, Somalis, Ethiopians and Sudanese refugees settled down in the Downtown or central district of Kansas City, MO. and Johnson County, Kansas including Kansas City, Kansas. The Kansas City area attracted many Vietnamese and Cambodians in the 1980s long after the Vietnam war, then came former Yugoslavians or Bosnians since the Bosnia civil war in the 1990s, and Arab Americans such as Lebanese people formed a sizable cultural presence in Kansas City. 71.102.24.62 (talk) 05:03, 24 December 2011 (UTC)
