Westwood city, KS in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Westwood city is a small town in Kansas, with 1,851 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #130 of 740 ranked by population — larger than 82% of them. The median age here is 36.7 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 Westwood city earn a median of $102,500 a year, 30.5% above the national figure of $78,538 and 61% 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 2.3% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Westwood city is valued at $384,500, 26.7% above the national figure and 193% above the $131,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,900 a month, 35.1% above the national figure, or roughly $22,800 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 22.2% 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 3.8×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 81.5% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, an owner-dominated market where rental listings are scarce and rent medians rest on a thin sample. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
