Soldier city, KS in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Soldier city is a very small community in Kansas, with 74 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #595 of 740 ranked by population — larger than 19% of them. The median age here is 40.7 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 Soldier 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. Household income here is measured before tax and pooled across everyone at the address, which is why it reads higher than typical individual earnings in the same area. Poverty reaches 14.9% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Soldier city is valued at $55,000, 81.9% below the national figure and 58% below the $131,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 1.1×, 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. 78.1% 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.
