Gypsum city, KS in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Gypsum city is a very small community in Kansas, with 385 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #340 of 740 ranked by population — larger than 54% of them. The median age here is 40.5 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 Gypsum city earn a median of $37,083 a year, 52.8% below the national figure of $78,538 and 42% below the $63,750 median for the 200 Kansas cities we cover. This figure covers the household, not the worker: two people on ordinary wages at one address outrank a single professional in the same table. Poverty reaches 13% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Gypsum city is valued at $77,600, 74.4% below the national figure and 41% below the $131,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $850 a month, 39.5% below the national figure, or roughly $10,200 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 27.5% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is within the standard affordability guideline. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 2.1×, 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% 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. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
