    Where Kansas City's local businesses are most crowded

    We counted 16 kinds of storefront and office businesses per 1,000 households in 115 residential ZIP codes across the Kansas City metro (879,303 households). Here's where competition is densest, how the metro compares with Missouri and the U.S., and the big ZIPs where fewer than 3 of a business type are recorded.

    Key findings

    • Leawood (66211) ranks among the 10 most crowded ZIPs in the metro for 10 of 16 business types, including dentists, chiropractors, gyms & fitness centers.
    • Kansas City has 1.6 times the U.S. rate of chiropractic offices per household: 0.41 per 1,000 households, against 0.25 nationally.
    • Kansas City has about 23% fewer general auto repair shops per household than the U.S. as a whole (0.44 per 1,000 households, against 0.57).
    • Kansas City (64108) has 71 full-service restaurants for 5,414 households, about 8 times the metro rate.
    • Kansas City (64119), with 13,095 households, has fewer than 3 child care centers recorded. Counts under 3 aren't published, so it could be one or two.

    How to read the numbers

    • Counts cover business locations with paid employees, in 2023. Self-employed owners aren't included, so every count is a minimum.
    • Counts under 3 aren't published for a ZIP and business type, so "fewer than 3 recorded" can mean one, two, or none.
    • "Most crowded" ranks ZIPs with at least 2,000 households by businesses per 1,000 households. Downtowns and shopping districts rank high because they serve workers and visitors as well as residents.
    • The metro is the Kansas City, MO-KS metropolitan area. A ZIP counts toward it when most of its land is in one of the metro's counties.
