Population Residing in Noninstitutionalized 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 noninstitutionalized "group quarters" population in 2000 was 71,628 - an 11.0 percent increase from 64,543 in 1990. That rate of increase is slightly greater than the 9.3 percent increase in Missouri's total population during the 1990s. Noninstitutionalized "group quarters" population is highly concentrated. As shown in Table 1 there were 11 counties that had no noninstitutionalized "group quarters" population and an additional 38 counties that had 50 or fewer "group quarters" residents in 2000. Noninstitutionalized group quarters population is most concentrated in counties having four-year resident colleges and/or military installations. There were 24 counties having a noninstitutionalized group quarters population of greater than 500. The largest concentration was in Greene County (8,182), which includes Southwest Missouri State University and several other small residential colleges. Second largest was Boone County (7,953), which includes the University of Missouri - Columbia and two other residential colleges. Following those two counties were St. Louis County with 7,206 and St. Louis City with 5,965. Pulaski County, with the largest military base, Fort Leonard Wood, had a group quarters population of 4,929 in 2000. Because of a reduction in forces at Fort Wood the barracks population declined by nearly 1,000 from 1990. 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.Changes in Group Quarters Population 1990-2000
There were 39 counties in which noninstitutionalized group quarters population declined or remained at zero during the 1990s. The greatest changes, both gains and losses, occurred in those counties having a group quarters population of greater than 500. There were a number of college/university counties that had a decline in dormitory population during the 1990s. Among these were Adair (-352), Boone (-1,585). Callaway (-150), Cape Girardeau (-352), Johnson (Central Missouri State and Whiteman Air Force Base), (-1,236), Nodaway (-424), and Pulaski (-933). There were an offsetting number of college/university counties in which, presumably dormitory, population increased. These included: Buchanan County with an increase of 730, Cole County (313), Greene County (1,283), Jackson County (1,202), Marion County (263), Newton County, Polk County (168), St. Charles County (1,740), St. Louis County (2,078), and St. Louis City (1,096).

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. |
Noninstitutionalized Group Quarters Population 1990-2000 by Region
Noninstitutionalized Group Quarters Population 1990-2000 by University of Missouri Extension Regions
Although all eight UM Extension Regions had some noninstitutionalized group quarters population in 2000 a majority of that population (72 percent) was concentrated in the East Central (23.7 percent of total), Southwest (18.2 percent), Central (16.9 percent) and West Central (14.1 percent) Regions. Among the remaining four regions, South Central, largely because of the location of Fort Wood, had the largest (7,684) noninstitutionalized group quarters population in 2000. The group quarters population was nearly equal among the remaining three regions, e.g. Northeast (4,154), Northwest (3,997) and Southeast (3,636).
Noninstitutionalized Group Quarters Population 1990-2000 by Missouri Department of Transportation Districts
Although all ten MODOT Districts had some noninstitutionalized group quarters population in 2000 a majority of that population (66.5 percent) was concentrated in the St. Louis District (22.8 percent), Springfield District (15.2 percent), Jefferson City District (14.9 percent) and Kansas City District (13.6 percent). Among the remaining six Districts only Willow Springs, largely because of the location of Fort Wood in the District, had the largest (7,545) noninstitutionalized group quarters population in 2000. None of the remaining five Districts had a group quarters population of greater than the 4,570 residing in the Macon District (the District includes Adair County having a significant higher education population). The St. Joseph District, which includes Missouri Western and Northwest Missouri State University, had a group quarters population of 3,808 and the Sikeston District, which includes Southeast Missouri State University, had a group quarters population of 3,686. The Joplin and Hannibal Districts had much smaller group quarters population.
Noninstitutionalized Group Quarters Population 1990-2000 by Missouri Department of Economic Development Regions
Although all thirteen DED Regions had some noninstitutionalized group quarters population in 2000, a majority of that population (53.4 percent) was concentrated in the St. Louis MSA (23.2 percent) and the Central (15.2 percent) and Springfield-Branson (15.0 percent) Regions. Among the remaining ten regions, the Lake Ozark - Rolla Region, largely because of the location of Fort Wood, had the largest (7,416). noninstitutionalized group quarters population in 2000. The Kansas City MSA had the fifth largest group quarters population (6,742). The above five regions account for 73.4 percent of Missouri total noninstitutionalized group quarters population.
None of the remaining eight regions had a group quarters population in excess of the 4,349 found in West Central. That is largely due to the inclusion of Johnson County which has a relatively high group quarters population because of the location of Central Missouri State University and Whiteman Air Force Base. The next largest group quarters population is found in the Northeast (3,948) and Northwest (3,734) Regions. Those regions include resident colleges in Kirksville, Hannibal and Canton in the Northeast Region and in St. Joseph and Maryville in the Northwest.
Three regions - Bootheel, South Central and North Central - have small group quarters populations of 1,026, 377 and 279 respectively.
