The State's report indicated a driving-age population demographic for the City of Grandview as 51.2% White, 35.5% Black, 11.8% Hispanic and 1.6% Asian respectively. However, the city's true driving demographics are affected by several major influences which are not reflected in the census data. The first is that the City of Grandview is a first tier city to Kansas City, MO which is bisected by 149/U.S. 71 highway; a major corridor direct to the inner city which maintains a high minority population. Much of our evening traffic is made up of motorists traveling to and from the inner city. Secondly, in 2010, the International House of Prayer opened their international university campus in the city. This campus brings in several thousand racially diverse students, which operate motor vehicles on our city streets on a daily basis but which are not represented in the census driving population data. Finally, since the 2020 census, the Grand Summit Apartments located on MO 150 highway (a major traffic corridor) have completed a large expansion, increasing by over 300 apartments. These apartments have since been filled and another large expansion is planned in the next year. The occupants of these apartments are racially diverse and are also not reflected in the

census driving population data.
