Goddard, KS population, income and ZIP codes

Goddard city is a mid-size town in Kansas, with 5,361 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #63 of 740 ranked by population — larger than 91% of them. The median age here is 32.6 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. Places under 65,000 residents only appear in the five-year release, never the one-year file, so these values pool sixty months of responses and lag the current year by design.

Households in Goddard city earn a median of $92,220 a year, 17.4% above the national figure of $78,538 and 45% 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% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Goddard city is valued at $203,500, 32.9% below the national figure and 55% above the $131,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,437 a month, 2.2% above the national figure, or roughly $17,244 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 18.7% 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 2.2×, 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. 80.4% 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.
