Why Georgia Residents Are Moving to Kansas
Family proximity — the Kansas connection
The reverse migration from Georgia back to Kansas for family proximity is one of the most consistently active and emotionally driven moving corridors we serve. Kansas’s significant population base — with the Kansas City metropolitan area exceeding 2.2 million residents on both the Kansas and Missouri sides and Wichita exceeding 650,000 — means many Georgia residents have deep Kansas family roots. Grandchildren aging parents family support networks and the desire to be present for the people who matter most drive more Georgia to Kansas moves than any other single factor.
Wichita — the Air Capital of the World
Wichita Kansas is one of the most extraordinary and genuinely underappreciated aerospace employment centers in the United States — the self-proclaimed Air Capital of the World with good reason. Cessna Aircraft Beechcraft Textron Aviation Spirit AeroSystems — one of the largest independent aerostructures manufacturers in the world producing fuselages for Boeing aircraft — Bombardier Learjet and dozens of other aviation manufacturing and engineering companies have made Wichita the most significant concentration of general aviation and commercial aerospace manufacturing employment outside of the major commercial aviation hubs. Georgia aerospace engineering manufacturing and technology professionals consistently recognize Wichita as an extraordinary career advancement destination with aerospace career opportunities unavailable in Georgia’s aviation corridor.
Kansas City — the most exciting Kansas urban community
The Kansas side of the Kansas City metropolitan area — anchored by Overland Park Olathe Lenexa Shawnee and Prairie Village — offers Georgia professionals and families one of the most extraordinary suburban lifestyle values in the country. Johnson County Kansas — home to Overland Park and Olathe — consistently ranks as one of the most educated affluent and livable suburban communities in the United States with outstanding public school systems housing affordability significantly lower than comparable Georgia suburban communities and efficient access to Kansas City Missouri’s extraordinary urban entertainment and corporate employment base. Overland Park has emerged as one of the most significant suburban technology and corporate employment centers in the Kansas City metropolitan area drawing Georgia technology professionals for career opportunities at Sprint T-Mobile’s significant Overland Park operations and the broader Johnson County corporate corridor.
Extraordinary affordability
Kansas consistently ranks among the most affordable states in the country for housing cost of living and property taxes. Wichita Topeka and the broader Kansas corridor offer dramatically lower housing costs than comparable Georgia markets. Johnson County Kansas — despite being one of the most desirable suburban communities in the Midwest — offers housing at dramatically more accessible price points than comparable Georgia suburban communities in Cherokee County Forsyth County or Fayette County. For Georgia families seeking to maximize their housing value while maintaining excellent schools and quality of life Kansas offers one of the most compelling value propositions available anywhere in the country.
University of Kansas and Kansas State University
Kansas’s extraordinary academic corridor — anchored by the University of Kansas in Lawrence one of the most celebrated public research universities in the Big 12 and Kansas State University in Manhattan one of the most distinguished land-grant research universities in the Great Plains — draws Georgia academics researchers graduate students and faculty for programs and career opportunities alongside some of the most passionate college basketball cultures in the country. KU basketball is one of the most storied and celebrated programs in college basketball history — drawing Georgia academics and families for a college town experience of genuine national significance.
Fort Riley and Kansas’s military community
Fort Riley — home of the 1st Infantry Division the Big Red One one of the most storied and celebrated divisions in United States Army history — generates consistent military family relocation volume from Georgia. Fort Leavenworth the United States Army Command and General Staff College and McConnell Air Force Base in Wichita also generate significant military and defense professional relocation volume from Georgia to Kansas.
