Kechi city, KS in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Kechi city is a small town in Kansas, with 2,935 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #92 of 740 ranked by population — larger than 87% of them. The median age here is 38.5 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 Kechi city earn a median of $102,794 a year, 30.9% above the national figure of $78,538 and 61% above the $63,750 median for the 200 Kansas cities we cover. Household income here is measured before tax and pooled across everyone at the address, which is why it reads higher than typical individual earnings in the same area. Poverty reaches 2.3% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Kechi city is valued at $264,200, 12.9% below the national figure and 101% above the $131,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,610 a month, 14.5% above the national figure, or roughly $19,320 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 18.8% 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 2.6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 80.5% 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.
