|
- All UM Extension regions experienced population growth during the 1990s, the extent of growth and components of change comprising growth, varied by region.
- The Southeast, East Central, Northeast, and Northwest regions (that together comprise all counties of the eastern and northern borders of Missouri) experienced a relatively modest pattern of population growth, ranging from 3.3 percent to 5.6 percent.
- The West Central, South Central, and Central regions of Missouri all experienced moderate overall population growth, ranging from nearly 10 percent to nearly 15 percent.
- UM Extension’s Southwest region, which includes the Springfield-Branson area, experienced the greatest pace of growth, 23 percent.

- The East Central and West Central UM Extension regions, that include Missouri’s urbanized areas of St. Louis and Kansas City, were the only two regions that experienced higher rates of growth primarily attributable to a natural increase in population (5.7 EC and 5.8 WC).
- The Northeast and Northwest regions, that together comprise the northern border of Missouri, experienced negative natural increase rates (-0.2 NE and -0.1 NW) with deaths outpacing births.
- The Central and Southwest regions experienced moderate rates of natural increase (4.1 and 4.0 respectively), though most of the very strong growth in these regions is attributable to in-migration.
Trends in Net Migration

- All UM Extension regions experienced net migration rates during the 1990s. In-migration rates ranged from a low of 1.6 in the East Central region to a high rate of 20.9 percent in the Southwest region.
- The Northeast, Northwest, and Southeast UO/E regions, comprised of primarily rural and small city populations, experienced modest in-migration rates (3.2 percent to 4.1 percent). Though higher than their natural increase rates, thus, accounting for much of the population increase in these regions.
- The Central, South Central and Southwest regions, home to the Columbia/Jefferson City area, Springfield/Branson area, and the Lake of the Ozarks, experienced the strongest net migration rates in Missouri during the 1990s, with the Central and South Central regions’ population growing at a rate of more than 11 percent and the Southwest region experiencing a positive net migration rate of nearly 21 percent.
