Percent Change in Missouri Population by County Within MoDOT District, 1990-2000

All MoDOT districts experienced population growth during the 1990s. However, the extent of growth and components of change comprising growth, varied by region.

  • The population of the North Central/Macon district changed the least, growing by less than one percent in the decade between 1990 and 2000.
  • The Northwest/St. Joseph district, the St. Louis district, and the Southwest/Sikeston district each increased its population within a moderate range of nearly 4 percent to nearly 6 percent.
  • The Kansas City and South Central/Willow Springs districts grew on pace with the state of Missouri as a whole, experiencing population increases of slightly less than 10 percent.
  • MoDOT’s districts experiencing the greatest increases in population during the 1990s included the Northeast/Hannibal district, the Central/Jefferson City district, the Southwest/Joplin district and the Springfield district.
    • The Northeast/Hannibal district captured the strong exurban growth to the north of the St. Louis metropolitan area
    • The Central/Jefferson City district captured both the robust growth in the Columbia/Jefferson City metropolitan area and the northern portion of the Lake of the Ozarks.
    • The Southwest/Joplin district grew at healthy pace of slightly greater than 16 percent while the neighboring Springfield district, experienced the greatest increase in population in Missouri, nearly 25 percent.

Percent Natural Increase in Missouri Population by County Within MoDOT District, 1990-2000

  • MoDOT’s urban districts, St. Louis and Kansas City, were the only two regions to experience higher rates of growth attributable to a natural increase in population than to net migration.
  • MoDOT’s Northwest/St. Joseph, Southeast/Sikeston, Northeast/Hannibal, South Central/Willow Springs, and Southwest/Joplin districts all experienced low rates of natural increase in population (less than 3 percent).
  • The North Central/Macon district experienced a negative rate (-1.1) of natural increase
  • The Central/Jefferson City and Springfield districts grew through both strong natural increase as well as the highest net migration rates in the state (approximately 15 percent - 23 percent).

  • While the MoDOT district’s serving much of out-state Missouri experienced moderate population growth attributable to net in-migration (approximately 4 percent to 14 percent), the Central/Jefferson City and Springfield districts grew through both strong natural increase as well as the highest net migration rates in the state (approximately 15 percent - 23 percent).
