30-miles north, yes. But Manhattan sets in the Kansas Flint Hills, if that was a serious question. You should visit next fall.

I actually went on a college visit to K State back in 2010. Hated the drive to get there, but really enjoyed the campus

Has Manhattan annexed Lawrence? This article says population in 2016 was 97,000. The City of Manhattan website says 54,000 in 2017. I'd say one is overcounting.

BYW, I've always wondered, do college students show up as full time residents in population counts?
Its looking at the MSA. For Ames, that includes all of Story and Boone County. For Manhattan, it includes 3 counties. Manhattan itself only grew by 3.5% from 2010-2020. Ames grew 12.7% in that same timeframe.
 
You know back in the day Kudrow was the least attractive woman on Friends.

Fast forward to now....when my wife forces me to watch that **** show I find Kudrow to be wildly attractive. Plus she's smart which helps.
I love her. In everything.
 
Wasn't a county added to the Manhattan MSA recently and the article is misusing those numbers as a growth rate?
IDK. But Manhattan is rapidly growing due to the opening of the NBAF federal laboratory and the addition of aligned companies. My relative is a realtor here and says it's clearly happening in the housing market.

Good for Manhattan. Ames isn't growing as fast, but there is Ankeny and other towns to the south of Ames that are growing fairly fast.

Manhattan may be a great and growing town but I don't believe it is growing that fast. 38% in 5 years is fast in a state like Texas or Florida. Areas don't grow like that in the plains states. 7K a year?

If the college student claims that town as their residence at the time of census, then yes.
 
Kansas estimated 2022 corn yields only at 119 bushels/acre. Iowa estimated 191. A down year for us! Spread the word, Kansas sucks ass at growing corn
They had a brutal drought in western KS this summer. Thousands of acres planted to corn that essentially had no yield.

Still, I chuckle seeing KSU farmers on Twitter whine about "I-Staters" and how lucky we are. Sucks to suck.
 
I love the title that Manhattan KS is a "big" and a "city".

The county I live in has 200x more people than that town and Ames has 12k more...Ames is a small town with a huge college.

I will give them credit that their state government hit rock bottom and corrected faster than Iowa's is so I'm sure they do have more growth potential right now.
