Hutchinson, KS population, income and ZIP codes

Hutchinson city is a small city in Kansas, with 39,837 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #11 of 740 ranked by population — larger than 98% of them. The median age here is 38.8 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. 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 Hutchinson city earn a median of $58,801 a year, 25.1% below the national figure of $78,538 and 8% 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 15.2% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Hutchinson city is valued at $122,600, 59.6% below the national figure and 7% below the $131,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $883 a month, 37.2% below the national figure, or roughly $10,596 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 18% 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 2.1×, 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. 62.7% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

No figure on this page is estimated by us; each one comes straight from the published ACS tables for this area. 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.
