Colwich city, KS in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Colwich city is a small town in Kansas, with 1,616 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #144 of 740 ranked by population — larger than 80% of them. The median age here is 32.7 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 Colwich city earn a median of $88,468 a year, 12.6% above the national figure of $78,538 and 39% above the $63,750 median for the 200 Kansas cities we cover. 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 1.2% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Colwich city is valued at $217,600, 28.3% below the national figure and 66% above the $131,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,264 a month, 10.1% below the national figure, or roughly $15,168 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 17.1% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is cheap relative to what people here earn. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 2.5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 78.7% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

All values below were released by the Census for this exact geography, with no gap-filling on our side. 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.
