Fairway, KS population, income and ZIP codes

Fairway city is a small town in Kansas, with 4,177 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #72 of 740 ranked by population — larger than 90% of them. The median age here is 37.8 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 Fairway city earn a median of $159,821 a year, 103.5% above the national figure of $78,538 and 151% 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 3.8% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Fairway city is valued at $626,600, 106.5% above the national figure and 377% above the $131,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,867 a month, 32.8% above the national figure, or roughly $22,404 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 14% 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 3.9×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 84.2% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, an owner-dominated market where rental listings are scarce and rent medians rest on a thin sample. 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.
