Catharine, KS population, income and ZIP codes

Catharine CDP is a very small community in Kansas, with 252 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #398 of 740 ranked by population — larger than 46% of them. The median age here is 18 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. 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 Catharine CDP earn a median of not published a year. The median is the midpoint household, not an average, so a handful of very high earners cannot drag it upward the way they distort a mean. Poverty reaches 50% of residents here, well above the 12.4% national rate, which is the single clearest signal in this dataset that median income here is carried by a narrow band of households.

The typical owner-occupied home in Catharine CDP is valued at $254,700, 16.1% below the national figure and 94% above the $131,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. 45.1% 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.

A median age of 18 means a large student or early-career population; income medians in places like this understate household resources, since many residents are supported from outside the address. With 252 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Catharine CDP against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld household income, gross rent for Catharine CDP because the sample was too thin to publish at this geography. Those values were suppressed at the source, not lost in our dataset, and we do not model a replacement. Everything else on this page comes straight from the ACS 2019-2023 ACS 5-year tables.
