What Raymore's numbers say about plumbing

Raymore is one of the fastest-growing Kansas City–metro suburbs tracked here: 26,633 people (2025 estimate), up 16.2% since 2020^[2]. The city spans 17.3 square miles at 1,538 residents per square mile (the 9th densest) and sits entirely in Cass County, served by ZIP code 64083^[3].

With 25% of homes built since 2010 and 14% before 1980^[1], Raymore's plumbing runs from brand-new supply lines and fixtures to aging pipe, original valves and water heaters past their rated life.

One ZIP code covers the whole city: 64083^[6].

The tracked suburbs closest by are Belton (4.0 mi W), Grandview (6.4 mi NW) and Lee's Summit (9.1 mi NE)^[3].

14% of Raymore's 9,655 housing units predate 1980 and 25% went up in 2010 or later^[1] — the 2nd-lowest pre-1980 share of the 14 Kansas City–area suburbs we cover; nearby, Belton (40%), Grandview (68%), and Lee's Summit (25%) predate 1980.

Water from the sky is plumbing work too: 15 flood or flash-flood reports within 10 miles over 2016–2025^[4], and FEMA logged 13 flood-insurance claims across Raymore's ZIPs^[5]. Homes that take water need working drainage, sump pumps and backflow prevention.

71% of homes heat with utility gas, and 22% of households rent^[1].

Measured against the 14 suburbs on this site, Raymore records the newest housing (by median year built) (2002, tied with 3 other suburbs)^[1], the 2nd-lowest pre-1980 housing share (14%)^[1], the 2nd-lowest renter share (22%)^[1], and the 3rd-highest share of homes built since 2010 (25%)^[1].
