The first results from the 2020 census have arrived and offer insight into Overland Park’s growing and diverse population.

According to the United States Census Bureau, Overland Park’s 2020 population was 197,238. That’s nearly a 14 percent increase from the 2010 total of 173,372. The new numbers come from census redistricting data, which he released this fall.

Population growth is also marked by greater racial diversity. This includes an increased percentage of Asian and African American residents and an increased percentage of residents of two or more races. The percentage of white residents has decreased by almost 10%.

Below, you can find Overland Park’s complete racial demographics from the 2020 census and how it compares to the 2010 census.
