Wellsville city, KS in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Wellsville city is a small town in Kansas, with 2,003 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #126 of 740 ranked by population — larger than 83% of them. The median age here is 37.8 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 Wellsville city earn a median of $67,292 a year, 14.3% below the national figure of $78,538 and 6% 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 10.9% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Wellsville city is valued at $166,100, 45.3% below the national figure and 27% above the $131,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,264 a month, 10.1% below the national figure, or roughly $15,168 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 22.5% 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. 71.9% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. 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.
No figure on this page is estimated by us; each one comes straight from the published ACS tables for this area. Small-area estimates still carry wider margins of error than state or national figures, so check the linked ACS tables before relying on them for lending, appraisal or legal work.
