Manhattan is a town located in northeastern Kansas at the junction of the Kansas River and Big Blue River. As of the July 2005 census estimate, its population was 49,462, making it the eighth-largest city in Kansas. Manhattan is the county seat of Riley County. A small part of the town extends into Pottawatomie County.
Nicknamed The Little Apple in 1977 as a play on New York City's "Big Apple," it is most well-known for being the home of Kansas State University. Eight miles (13 km) west of the town is Fort Riley, a United States Army post.
Geography
Manhattan is located at 39°11.5'N 96°35.5'W, or about 50 miles (80 km)
west of Topeka on the Kansas River.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 38.9 sq. km. (15.0 sq. mi.), almost all land.
Geographic features
Manhattan is located in the Flint Hills region of Kansas, which consists
of continuous rolling hills covered in tall grasses. However, the current
downtown area - the original site of Manhattan - was built on a broad,
flat floodplain at the junction of the Kansas and Big Blue rivers.
Tuttle Creek Reservoir is located 5 miles (8 km) north of Manhattan. The
lake was formed when the Big Blue River was dammed for flood control
in the 1960s, and it is now a state park that offers many recreational
opportunities. South of town is the Konza Prairie, a tall-grass prairie
preserve jointly owned by The Nature Conservancy and Kansas State
University.
Climate
Over the course of a year, temperatures range from an average low of
almost 15°F in January to an average high of nearly 93°F in July. The
maximum temperature reaches 90°F an average of 56 days per year and
reaches 100°F an average of 9 days per year. The minimum temperature
falls below the freezing point (32°F) an average of 118 days per year.
Typically the first fall freeze occurs between the last week of September
and the end of October, and the last spring freeze occurs between the first
week of April and early May.
The area receives nearly 35 inches of precipitation during an average year with the largest share being received in May and June - the April-June period averages 33 days of measurable precipitation. During a typical year the total amount of precipitation may be anywhere from 24 to 46 inches.
There are on average 97 days of measurable precipitation per year. Winter snowfall averages almost 16 inches, but the median is less than 10 inches. Measurable snowfall occurs an average of 10 days per year with at least an inch of snow being received on six of those days. Snow depth of at least an inch occurs an average of 20 days per year.
Demographics
As of the census of 2000, there were 44,831 people, 16,949 households,
and 8,254 families residing in the city. The population density was
1,152.4/sq. km. (2,983.9/sq. mi.). There were 17,690 housing units at an
average density of 454.7/sq. km. (1,177.4/sq. mi.). The racial makeup of
the city was 87.28% White, 4.86% African American, 0.48% Native
American, 3.93% Asian, 0.07% Pacific Islander, 1.30% from other races,
and 2.07% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were
3.49% of the population.
There were 16,949 households out of which 22.7% had children under the age of 18 living with them, 39.6% were married couples living together, 6.6% had a female householder with no husband present, and 51.3% were non-families. 30.5% of all households were made up of individuals and 6.3% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older. The average household size was 2.30 and the average family size was 2.89.
The age distribution is 15.8% under the age of 18, 39.2% from 18 to 24, 24.0% from 25 to 44, 13.2% from 45 to 64, and 7.8% who were 65 years of age or older. The median age was 24 years. For every 100 females there were 106.4 males. For every 100 females age 18 and over, there were 105.4 males. The general age distribution is typical of a university town; the sex distribution is not uncommon in areas dominated by major land-grant universities.
The median income for a household in the city was $30,463, and the median income for a family was $48,289. Males had a median income of $31,396 versus $24,611 for females. The per capita income for the city was $16,566. About 8.7% of families and 24.2% of the population were below the poverty line, including 10.1% of those under age 18 and 7.8% of those age 65 or over. However, traditional poverty statistics can be misleading when applied to communities with large student populations, such as Manhattan.
