St. Paul city, KS in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

St. Paul city is a very small community in Kansas, with 665 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #258 of 740 ranked by population — larger than 65% of them. The median age here is 48.8 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 St. Paul city earn a median of $37,344 a year, 52.5% below the national figure of $78,538 and 41% 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 7.3% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in St. Paul city is valued at $92,100, 69.6% below the national figure and 30% below the $131,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $681 a month, 51.6% below the national figure, or roughly $8,172 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 21.9% 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. 67.8% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
