Osawatomie city, KS in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Osawatomie city is a small town in Kansas, with 4,244 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #70 of 740 ranked by population — larger than 90% of them. The median age here is 40 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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 Osawatomie city earn a median of $55,612 a year, 29.2% 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 18.1% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Osawatomie city is valued at $137,400, 54.7% below the national figure and 5% above the $131,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $948 a month, 32.6% below the national figure, or roughly $11,376 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 20.5% 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 2.5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 68.9% 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.

Every value on this page is published directly by the Census for this area — nothing is modelled or interpolated. 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.
