Not saying that’s a good thing, but both St. Louis and Kansas City are basically segregated cities. If part of the stipulation was “poor & black”, those are probably among the worst cities to live in. For a black male, it’s more dangerous to live on KCs east side than to serve in Afghanistan.
If you’re not poor, weather is the worst thing in both cities with St. Louis being even worse than KC. If you make a decent living in KC and don’t want to have to send your kids to private school, you move to the suburbs on the Kansas side where BraveJayhawk lives. Again, Overland Park regularly makes top10 lists for best cities between 100-200k population and Leawood for cities 50-100k.
I wouldn’t put Missouri or Kansas high on my list of best states, but not in the bottom 10.
