Westwood Hills, KS population, income and ZIP codes

Westwood Hills city is a very small community in Kansas, with 484 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #301 of 740 ranked by population — larger than 59% of them. The median age here is 36.2 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 Hills city earn a median of $196,250 a year, 149.9% above the national figure of $78,538 and 208% above 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 0.4% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Westwood Hills city is valued at $548,900, 80.9% above the national figure and 318% above the $131,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $2,125 a month, 51.1% above the national figure, or roughly $25,500 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 13% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is cheap relative to what people here earn. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 2.8×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 97.4% 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. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
