Measured as percent population growth over the last five years, the front-runner is — drumroll please...

Spring Hill. Dubbed the “hottest little town in East Kansas” (in 1898), the town’s population increased 39.59% in the last five years, and 7.92% in just the last year.

Behind Spring Hill, we have:

  • Parkville at 26.72%

  • Peculiar at 16.55%
  • Graom Valley at 15.67%
