Population Residing in Institutional Group Quarters 1990-2000
Most of Missouri's population (97.1 percent) was counted as living in either family or nonfamily households in 2000. The remaining 2.9 percent (162,058) was counted as residing in "group quarters" in 2000. That was an increase of 11.5 percent from the 145,397 residing in "group quarters" at the time the 1990 Census was taken.
Group quarters are defined as either institutional or noninstitutional places of residence. Institutional group quarters include people who are under formally authorized, supervised care or custody in institutions at the time of the census enumeration. These include correctional institutions, nursing homes and juvenile institutions. Non-institutional group quarters are places of residence other than institutions. These include college dormitories, military quarters and group homes.
The institutionalized population in 2000 was 90,430, an increase from 80,854 in 1990. The institutionalized population increased by 11.8 percent during the 1990s - a rate of increase greater than the 9.3 percent increase in Missouri's total population. All counties had at least some institutionalized population in 2000. The size of the institutionalized population ranged from as few as 38 in Worth County and 39 in Mercer County to as many as 12,080 in St. Louis County. The institutionalized population increased in 59 of the 115 counties during the 1990s.
Because of the location of a prison, there were eight counties in which the institutionalized population accounted for 7 percent or more of total county population. The counties having the highest proportions of institutionalized population were DeKalb County with 23.8 percent and Cooper County and Pike County each having 11.7 percent.
It appears from the data that nursing homes and other forms of custodial health care are a major form of institutionalized group quarters. In 2000 there were 72 counties in which more than 200 persons were residing in institutions and there were 19 counties in which more than 1,000 persons were residing in institutions.

OSEDA Regional Grouping of Counties Many demographic factors vary by region within the state of Missouri. For the convenience of our user community, OSEDA prepares tables using three different regional groupings of counties: Extension, Economic Development and Transportation. For each of these groupings, one table summarizes the indicators by regional total and a second table shows values for each county grouped by region. Users may select the county grouping most helpful for their application and understanding. |
Institutionalized Population 1990-2000 by Region
Institutionalized Population 1990-2000 by University of Missouri Extension Regions
The proportion of institutionalized population among the Extension Regions ranged from a high of 9.6 percent of the population in the Northwest Region, followed by 7.1 percent in the Northeast Region and 6.6 percent in the Central Region. There were none of the remaining five regions in which greater than 2.1 percent of the population was institutionalized.
The three regions having the highest concentration of correctional institutions, Northeast, Northwest and Central, were the ones having the greatest gain in institutionalized population during the 1990s. The institutionalized population increased by 36.3 percent in the Northwest, 36.2 percent in the Central and 34.6 percent in Northeast. Three of the remaining regions, Southwest, Southeast and South Central had modest increases and two, West Central and East Central, each had small decreases in institutionalized population.
Institutionalized Population 1990-2000 by Missouri Department of Transportation Districts
The proportion of institutionalized population among the MODOT Districts ranged from a high of 10.1 percent of the population in the St. Joseph District, followed by 6.7 percent in the Hannibal District, 6.5 percent in the Jefferson City District and 5.3 percent in the Macon District. These are the districts that have the highest concentration of correctional institutions. As a result, not only did those districts have the highest proportion of institutionalized population in 2000, but also the Hannibal, St. Joseph and Jefferson City Districts had the greatest increases in institutionalized population during the 1990s with increases of 102.6 percent, 42.4 percent and 32.3 percent respectively.
There were none of the remaining six districts in which more than 3.7 percent of the population (Sikeston District) was institutionalized. The percent of institutionalized population was less than 1.7 percent in the Joplin, Springfield, Kansas City and St. Louis Districts. In both the Kansas City and St. Louis Districts the institutionalized population declined during the 1990s.
Institutionalized Population 1990-2000 by Missouri Department of Economic Development Regions
The proportion of institutionalized population among the DED Regions ranged from a high of 10.5 percent of the population in the Northwest Region, followed by 7.3 percent in the Central Region, 6.8 percent in the Northeast Region and 4.8 percent in the Lower East Central-Cape Region. Those four are the regions having the highest concentration of correctional institutions. As a result, not only did those regions have the highest proportion of institutionalized population in 2000, but they also had the greatest increases in institutionalized population during the 1990s. The institutionalized population increased by 62.0 percent in the Northeast Region, 44.5 percent in the Northwest Region, 36.5 percent in the Central Region and 33.2 percent in the Lower East Central-Cape Region. No other regions had an increase of institutionalized population of greater than 13.5 percent.
There were none of the remaining nine districts in which more than 4.0 percent of the population (North Central) was institutionalized. The percent of institutionalized population was no greater than 1.7 percent in any of the eight remaining regions.
Significantly the size of the institutionalized population declined in both the Kansas City and St. Louis MSAs. The size of the institutionalized population also declined in the North Central Region.
