Neodesha city, KS in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Neodesha city is a small town in Kansas, with 2,311 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #110 of 740 ranked by population — larger than 85% of them. The median age here is 38.6 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 Neodesha city earn a median of $48,532 a year, 38.2% below the national figure of $78,538 and 24% 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 16.2% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Neodesha city is valued at $88,500, 70.8% below the national figure and 33% below the $131,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $784 a month, 44.2% below the national figure, or roughly $9,408 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 19.4% 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 1.8×, 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. 71.3% 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.
All values below were released by the Census for this exact geography, with no gap-filling on our side. 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.
