Demographics

The Springfield metropolitan area consists of the counties of Christian, Dallas, Greene, Polk and Webster. Click on each county’s link for a fact sheet giving social, housing and economic characteristics from the 2000 Census or 2005 American Community Survey.

The American Community Survey [ACS], once it is fully implemented in 2010, will provide annually updated information of this kind. At this time, only places with a population threshold of 65,000+ have ACS coverage. In addition to the county information mentioned above, Springfield city and Springfield metropolitan data is also available. Hint: the ACS "Data Profiles" output will cover most needs.
