Riverton, KS population, income and ZIP codes

Riverton CDP is a very small community in Kansas, with 683 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #253 of 740 ranked by population — larger than 65% of them. The median age here is 47.1 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 Riverton CDP earn a median of $93,281 a year, 18.8% above the national figure of $78,538 and 46% above 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 0% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Riverton CDP is valued at $131,800, 56.6% below the national figure and within a couple of points of the $131,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $668 a month, 52.5% below the national figure, or roughly $8,016 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 8.6% 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 1.4×, 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. 84.3% 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. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

With 683 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Riverton CDP against its county rather than against national figures.
