It's actually information about Kansas City. Useless information to you, but some I wanted to share nonetheless.

According to The Kansas City Star, the Kansas City area (including the Kansas side of the metro) is close to reaching its saturation point when it comes to banks. During the last 12 months, 198 bank branches have opened. The paper reported that there's 156 separate banks in the metro area. That compares to 157 in the Boston area or 158 in Philadelphia. The report also indicated that there's 743 bank branches. That compares to 671 in Denver or 583 in San Diego. Only two cities, Indianapolis and Louisville, have lower deposits per branch than Kansas City among the 50 largest markets.
