Welcome to the KC Region Data Dashboard—an essential tool in our shared effort to grow the economy, for everyone. Kansas City is a community of communities—millions of lives woven together across neighborhoods and state lines, united by a common future. This dashboard reflects the region’s commitment to collaboration, innovation, and inclusive growth.

The dashboard highlights three key areas: a regional demographics overview, a regional economic profile, and insights into our priority industry sectors—healthcare/biosciences, energy, defense, and global design. By examining trends in workforce, earnings, and population, and comparing Kansas City’s performance to ten peer metros—including Austin, Charlotte, Cincinnati, Columbus, Denver, Indianapolis, Minneapolis, Nashville, Portland, and Raleigh—we gain critical context on where we stand and where we can grow.

Our strength lies in working together. The business community, along with foundations, nonprofits, government, education, and civic partners, is uniquely positioned to lead this charge. By aligning our efforts around a shared vision, we accelerate progress—and ensure that the future we’re building works for all who call the KC region home.
