Waldo, KS population, income and ZIP codes

Waldo city is a very small community in Kansas, with 22 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #693 of 740 ranked by population — larger than 6% of them. The median age here is 71.6 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 Waldo city earn a median of $40,750 a year, 48.1% below the national figure of $78,538 and 36% below 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 Waldo city is valued at not published, while median gross rent runs not published a month. 53.8% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

A median age of 71.6 puts Waldo city well into retirement-weighted territory, which pulls median household income down even where household wealth is high, because retirement draws are counted differently from wages. With 22 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Waldo city against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld home value, gross rent for Waldo city because the sample was too thin to publish at this geography. Those values were suppressed at the source, not lost in our dataset, and we do not model a replacement. Everything else on this page comes straight from the ACS 2019-2023 ACS 5-year tables.
