Sabetha city, KS in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Sabetha city is a small town in Kansas, with 2,326 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #109 of 740 ranked by population — larger than 85% of them. The median age here is 37.5 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 Sabetha city earn a median of $67,794 a year, 13.7% below the national figure of $78,538 and 6% 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 11.2% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Sabetha city is valued at $146,000, 51.9% below the national figure and 11% above the $131,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $693 a month, 50.7% below the national figure, or roughly $8,316 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 12.3% 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 2.2×, 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. 61.7% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. 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.
