Jackson County, not Kansas City
Jackson County context, not Kansas City figures
These are Jackson County figures. There is no place level equivalent published for any of them, so they are shown as the county backdrop and never as Kansas City measurements.
- Establishments in Jackson County18,212
- Employment at those establishments, Jackson County360,017
- Covered employment, Jackson County375,574
- Average annual pay, Jackson County$71,613
- Average weekly wage, Jackson County$1,377
- Housing units permitted, Jackson County4,003
- Of those, single family, Jackson County1,253
- County product, 2024, Jackson County$65,088,886,000
- County product change over the prior year, Jackson County5.6 percent
- Average income of an arriving household, Jackson County$68,382
Every figure in this section is published for Jackson County as a whole and is not a measurement of Kansas City. It is here because a county backdrop is what a credit committee reads a place against, and it is labelled so that it can never be quoted as the place's own.

Coverage
What this page does not hold.
Every item below could be filled with a plausible figure. None of them is. On a page a lender may read, a number that cannot be traced is worse than an absence, so the absences are named.
- This place is not listed as a community in the FEMA Community Status Book, so no NFIP participation or CRS class is shown.
- Parcel level detail, zoning and flood zone at an address are resolved in the platform, not on this page.
SBA figures count approvals to borrowers whose address is in the place. They are not approvals for projects inside the place boundary: the tape records a borrower city and a project county, and those can differ.
Common questions
Kansas City questions, answered from the record.
How many people live in Kansas City, Missouri?
510,612, in 221,979 households. Kansas City city covers 314.52 square miles of land, which is 1,623 people per square mile. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
What county is Kansas City in?
Kansas City lies in more than one. By area it is 49.3 percent in Jackson County, 28.4 percent in Clay County, 22.0 percent in Platte County. This page sits under Jackson County because that county holds the largest share. The split is measured from the Census boundary of the place against the county boundaries.
What is the median household income in Kansas City?
$69,166. The median owner-occupied home is valued at $242,900. Median gross rent is $1,238 per month. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.
How much SBA lending goes to Kansas City businesses?
614 7(a) approvals totalling $345.8 m, across 110 lenders, median approval $231,000, plus 171 504 approvals worth $126.7 m. These count approvals to borrowers whose address is in Kansas City, not projects sited inside the place boundary, and they are approvals recorded in the release rather than loans disbursed.
Do SBA loans to Kansas City borrowers get paid back?
Of the 94 loans that have reached a final outcome, 86 were paid in full and 8 charged off, a charge off rate of 8.5 percent. Loans still running are excluded because they have not yet succeeded or failed.
Are the county figures on this page Kansas City figures?
No, and they are labelled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Jackson County as a whole and there is no place level equivalent. They appear in one clearly marked section as context and are never presented as measurements of Kansas City.
Is zoning published for Kansas City?
Not yet. The zoning layer is in build. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
