Kansas counties show mixed trade pull as state slides
Profiles by David Darling from Kansas State University reveal 15 of 105 counties with pull factors at or above 1, indicating booming or relocated spendable income, while 25 retain less than half of residents' income and 2 stay under 25 percent. Western counties show declines, with Johnson and Sedgwick posting the highest per capita pull factors, and overall a regional tilt toward weaker trade balances amid agriculture and energy volatility.
