Statistical Resources
KSU Agricultural Economics homepage contains reports on county and city economic strength, retail pull, and trade area capture.

KSU Office of Local Government's Situation and Trends reports by county contains a wealth of information on many subjects.

KU Public Research Institute (PRI) homepage. Go to the "Kansas Data" link. Census 2000 and Kansas data Reports are available, but better yet are the "Economic Data Summary Reports" and the "County Profile Reports."

Kansas Inc. conducts economic analysis of Kansas. Their better known publication is the County Vitality and Distress Report. Other reports are focused on public fund allocation and public policy.

The US Census offers a large quantity of data if you can find it within their vast site. The second link is to American Fact Finder, which is also concerned with the census but is organized differently. Good luck!

The Bureau of Economic Analysis home page contains state and regional data, but also contains measures of income on the county level.
