Maize, KS population, income and ZIP codes

Maize city is a mid-size town in Kansas, with 5,990 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #56 of 740 ranked by population — larger than 92% of them. The median age here is 43.6 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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 Maize city earn a median of $68,750 a year, 12.5% below the national figure of $78,538 and 8% above the $63,750 median for the 200 Kansas cities we cover. Median household income counts every pre-tax dollar arriving at an address — wages, self-employment, Social Security, pensions, interest and public assistance — for everyone living there, so multi-earner households pull the figure up even where individual pay is modest. Poverty reaches 9.9% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Maize city is valued at $280,500, 7.5% below the national figure and 114% above the $131,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,340 a month, 4.7% below the national figure, or roughly $16,080 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 23.4% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is within the standard affordability guideline. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 4.1×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 47.8% 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.
