The data presented below represent estimates of the taxable retail sales occurring in the month indicated. The retail sales estimates for Johnson County s thirteen largest cities shown below are calculated from the local sales and use tax reported by the Kansas Department of Revenue. The Johnson County total is the sum of the retail sales made within each of the county s seventeen cities that levy a city sales tax. The figures shown are the latest available from the Department of Revenue. They are considered preliminary and subject to revision. Retail sales/use tax data provided by the Department of Revenue have been found to exhibit occasional random anomalies due to reporting and/or recording delays or errors. No attempt has been made by to adjust the data for these anomalies or for seasonality. Monthly figures should be interpreted as the taxable retail sales necessary to generate the local sales tax revenue distributed to the respective city by the Kansas Department of Revenue. 125 1 115 1 15 95 9 85 8 75 5 4 35 25 15 5 4 35 25 15 95 9 1 135 1 125 1 115 1 15 95 JOHNSON COUNTY: TOTAL RETAIL SALES 15 JC Market Share % $1,511. 95 $714,65, 9 85 +3.1% 8 75 $737. : 7 65 $1,652,949, $1,9,95, Note: Figures are based on sales tax collections Source: Kansas Department of Revenue & Cities +2.7% CITY OF OVERLAND PARK: RETAIL SALES YTD JC Market Share 38.2% $3,896.9 5 475 425 4 375 35 325 275 25 CITY OF LENEXA: RETAIL SALES 17 YTD JC Market Share 12.6% 1 $1,291.5 15 13 12 11 $92.4 9 8 7 This report may not be reproduced in any form or by any means without permission in writing from County Economic Research Institute Inc., Inc. $263,49, +5.6% : $63,938, $278.2 $568,993, Note: Figures are based on sales tax collections Source: Kansas Department of Revenue & Cities +1.9% CITY OF OLATHE: RETAIL SALES YTD JC Market Share 19.9% $152,817, $2,227.9 24 23 22 21 19 18 17 1 15-3.2% : $329,9, $147.9 $3,385, -8.7% Note: Figures are based on sales tax collections Source: Kansas Department of Revenue & Cities $9,174, +2.5% : $29,47, $21,279, -.6% Page 4
