Leawood, KS population, income and ZIP codes

Leawood city is a small city in Kansas, with 33,844 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #13 of 740 ranked by population — larger than 98% of them. The median age here is 48.4 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 Leawood city earn a median of $184,976 a year, 135.5% above the national figure of $78,538 and 190% above 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 2.5% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Leawood city is valued at $620,400, 104.5% above the national figure and 373% above the $131,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,753 a month, 24.7% above the national figure, or roughly $21,036 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 11.4% 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 3.4×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 91.3% 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.

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.
