The Historic Kansas City boundary is roughly {{convert|58|sqmi|km2}} and has a population density of about {{Convert|5,000|PD/sqmi}}. It runs from the Missouri River to the north, 79th Street to the south, the Blue River to the east, and State Line Road to the west. During the 1960s and 1970s, Kansas City annexed large amounts of land, which are largely undeveloped.

Between the 2000 and 2010 census counts, the urban core of Kansas City continued to drop significantly in population. The areas of Greater Downtown in the center city, and sections near I-435 and I-470 in the south, and Highway 152 in the north are the only areas of Kansas City, Missouri, to have an increase in population, with the Northland population growing the most.<ref>{{cite web|title=2000–2010 Population Change Map |url=http://marc.org/gis/assets/2010Census/Tracts_population_change_dotdensity.pdf |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110603055112/http://marc.org/gis/assets/2010Census/Tracts_population_change_dotdensity.pdf |url-status=dead |archive-date=June 3, 2011 |publisher=Mid-America Regional Council |access-date=September 2, 2013 }}</ref> Even so, the population of Kansas City as a whole from 2000 to 2010 increased by 4.1%.
