The Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation commissioned researchers from the Center for Science
Technology & Economic Policy at the Institute for Policy & Social Research at the University of
Kansas to study the characteristics and economic impact of immigration in the states of Kansas
and Missouri with a special focus on the Kansas City metropolitan area. This report documents
the characteristics of immigrants in these three geographic areas. Where relevant, we make
comparisons with other metro areas and with the US as a whole. We compare the foreign‐born
population with the native‐born population to try to identify the economic niches that
immigrants fill in our communities and to assess some of the challenges they may face. Our
report paints a statistical portrait of immigration in the bi‐state area.
