Lyons city, KS in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Lyons city is a small town in Kansas, with 3,562 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #80 of 740 ranked by population — larger than 89% of them. The median age here is 38.4 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 Lyons city earn a median of $66,769 a year, 15% below the national figure of $78,538 and 5% 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 8.3% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Lyons city is valued at $104,200, 65.7% below the national figure and 21% below the $131,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $739 a month, 47.4% below the national figure, or roughly $8,868 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 13.3% 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 1.6×, 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. 71.5% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Rent is reported gross — contract rent plus tenant-paid utilities — which is why it runs above the advertised price on a listing for the same unit.

Every value on this page is published directly by the Census for this area — nothing is modelled or interpolated. 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.
