Macksville, KS population, income and ZIP codes

Macksville city is a very small community in Kansas, with 585 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #273 of 740 ranked by population — larger than 63% of them. The median age here is 30.4 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. 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 Macksville city earn a median of $55,214 a year, 29.7% below the national figure of $78,538 and 13% below 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 12.6% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Macksville city is valued at $92,500, 69.5% below the national figure and 30% below the $131,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $542 a month, 61.5% below the national figure, or roughly $6,504 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 11.8% 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 1.7×, 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. 66.8% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
