Census Shows Continued Growth
Moundridge continues to show positive signs of growth. The recently released 2020 Census data shows Moundridge experienced a 12 percent increase in population over the past 10 years. In 2010 the Census showed our population at 1,737 and the 2020 Census data shows a population of 1,974.
McPherson County also showed an increase of 3.57 percent over the same 10 year period with a 2020 Census figure of 30,223.
The City of Moundridge has positioned itself for continued growth with the recent construction of a new waste water treatment plant just a few years ago; a new electrical substation and municipal swimming pool this year and the addition of several new housing subdivisions over the past six years.
USD 423 recently completed over $14 million in renovations while three major manufacturers: The Bradbury Company; Moridge Manufacturing-The Grasshopper Company; and Tortilla King have each been expanding their facilities.
Other commercial building projects have included a new $6.5 million grain storage facility at Mid Kansas COOP; expansion of the Mid Kansas Credit Union; remodeling and expansion at Mercy Hospital and Pine Village. The community has benefited from an average of $15 million in new construction each year spurring more growth and development.
Moundridge has a great location on I-135 halfway between Wichita and Salina, Kansas. The ability to live in a small town and convenience of being located near a metropolitan area makes the community attractive to new residents and businesses.
The residents of the community are one of our greatest assets. This is why, Moundridge is a place where "community is a way of life".
