Mulberry, KS population, income and ZIP codes

Mulberry city is a very small community in Kansas, with 419 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #330 of 740 ranked by population — larger than 55% of them. The median age here is 50 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 Mulberry city earn a median of $49,688 a year, 36.7% below the national figure of $78,538 and 22% below 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 31.7% of residents here, well above the 12.4% national rate, which is the single clearest signal in this dataset that median income here is carried by a narrow band of households.

The typical owner-occupied home in Mulberry city is valued at not published, while median gross rent runs $659 a month, 53.1% below the national figure, or roughly $7,908 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 15.9% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is cheap relative to what people here earn. 73.4% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

A median age of 50 puts Mulberry city well into retirement-weighted territory, which pulls median household income down even where household wealth is high, because retirement draws are counted differently from wages. With 419 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Mulberry city against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld home value for Mulberry city because the sample was too thin to publish at this geography. Those values were suppressed at the source, not lost in our dataset, and we do not model a replacement. Everything else on this page comes straight from the ACS 2019-2023 ACS 5-year tables.
