The city of Wichita is served by Wichita Public Schools (USD 259) and portions of the Derby (USD 260), Haysville (USD 261), Maize (USD 266), and Circle (375) school districts.

Wichita`s populus was estimated to be 357,698 in the year 2006, an increase of 6188, or +1.8%, over the previous six years. The city`s populus ranking has jumped up from its long-time held 51st place to 50th place during some of the years following the latest census. This has been due to slower growth in St. Louis, Missouri and a significant loss of populus from New Orleans, Louisiana following the hurricanes in 2005. But it is likely that the quicklyer growing cities of Arlington, Texas and Raleigh, North Carolina have both overtaken Wichita by 2007, and future estimates will show Wichita ranked in 51st place again.

Wichita is home to Wichita Mid-Continent Airport, the largest airfield in the state of Kansas (the bigger Kansas City International Airport is in Missouri). Flights from Wichita`s airfield travel to many U.S. airfield hubs via 11 commercial carriers.

The Wichita Transit Authority operates 51 buses on 18 fixed bus routes inside the city.

Most residents of Wichita travel around the region by car. The Kansas Turnpike (Interstate 35), Interstates 135 and 235, U.S. Route 54/400, and K-96 run through and near the city. Currently the idea of a Northwest Corridor is under discussion, to run from K-96 south from Maize to U.S. 54/400.
