You will find estimates for KC from 2.34 million to over 2.4 million depending on what is considered the Metropolitan Statistical Area

The point is that there is not that big a population difference any more--

in fact KC is one of the fastest growing places in Missouri even if they don't go to the ball park to support a team making a move to get in the playoffs.
