Tech startup assists in KC’s census revision |
By JASON GERTZEN
The Kansas City Star
A Kansas City-area technology startup wants more cities to stand up and be counted.
NPT Labs played a key role in the behind-the-scenes effort leading to last week’s addition of more than 25,000 residents to Kansas City’s U.S. Census Bureau tally. Using information that NPT researchers helped to collect and analyze, city leaders successfully challenged their official population count.

Census Bureau bumps Kansas City’s population by 25,455 |
|
Reported in the Kansas City Business Journal February 6th: http://kansascity.bizjournals.com/kansascity/stories/2009/02/02/daily63.html
Approval of a higher population estimate could hardly come at a better time for funds-strapped Kansas City.
The city said Friday that the U.S. Census Bureau
had accepted its December challenge to the 2007 population estimate of
450,375. The official population of Kansas City has been bumped up by
25,455, to 475,830 residents. Population helps governments make
decisions about where they allocate money, though it’s uncertain what
the dollar effect will be. Kansas City faces an estimated $85 million
budget shortfall. |
