Climax, KS population, income and ZIP codes

Climax city is a very small community in Kansas, with 57 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #627 of 740 ranked by population — larger than 15% of them. The median age here is 43.4 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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 Climax city earn a median of $63,750 a year, 18.8% below the national figure of $78,538 and within a couple of points of 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.

The Census withheld home value, gross rent for Climax city 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.
