Burdett, KS population, income and ZIP codes

Burdett city is a very small community in Kansas, with 313 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #366 of 740 ranked by population — larger than 50% of them. The median age here is 35.4 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. At this population the ACS sample is small, so the margin of error around every dollar figure below is wide — treat the numbers as a band, not a point, and expect them to move between annual releases without the place itself changing.

Households in Burdett city earn a median of $48,125 a year, 38.7% below the national figure of $78,538 and 25% below the $63,750 median for the 200 Kansas cities we cover. Median household income counts every pre-tax dollar arriving at an address — wages, self-employment, Social Security, pensions, interest and public assistance — for everyone living there, so multi-earner households pull the figure up even where individual pay is modest. Poverty reaches 1.9% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Burdett city is valued at $59,500, 80.4% below the national figure and 55% below the $131,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,295 a month, 7.9% below the national figure, or roughly $15,540 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 32.3% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is a stretch on median earnings. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 1.2×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so purchase prices are unusually low against local pay, the pattern in places where supply is plentiful and wage growth has been flat. 59.9% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. Rent is reported gross — contract rent plus tenant-paid utilities — which is why it runs above the advertised price on a listing for the same unit.

Burdett city is the unusual combination of expensive to rent and cheap to buy: rent takes 32.3% of median income while homes cost only 1.2× it. Where that pattern shows up, the gap is normally down to down-payment and credit barriers rather than price. With 313 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Burdett city against its county rather than against national figures.

Every value on this page is published directly by the Census for this area — nothing is modelled or interpolated. Small-area estimates still carry wider margins of error than state or national figures, so check the linked ACS tables before relying on them for lending, appraisal or legal work.
