Offerle, KS population, income and ZIP codes

Offerle city is a very small community in Kansas, with 186 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #444 of 740 ranked by population — larger than 40% of them. The median age here is 38.3 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 Offerle city earn a median of $50,000 a year, 36.3% below the national figure of $78,538 and 22% below the $63,750 median for the 200 Kansas cities we cover. This figure covers the household, not the worker: two people on ordinary wages at one address outrank a single professional in the same table. Poverty reaches 19.4% 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 Offerle city is valued at $59,300, 80.5% below the national figure and 55% below the $131,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $942 a month, 33% below the national figure, or roughly $11,304 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 22.6% 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 1.2×, 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. 81.7% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, an owner-dominated market where rental listings are scarce and rent medians rest on a thin sample. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
