Prairie Village, KS population, income and ZIP codes

Prairie Village city is a mid-size town in Kansas, with 22,937 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #19 of 740 ranked by population — larger than 97% of them. The median age here is 40.8 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 Prairie Village city earn a median of $107,664 a year, 37.1% above the national figure of $78,538 and 69% 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 5.8% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Prairie Village city is valued at $402,600, 32.7% above the national figure and 207% above the $131,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,655 a month, 17.7% above the national figure, or roughly $19,860 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 18.4% 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 3.7×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 74.8% 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.
