Nemaha ZIP codes — Nemaha County, Kansas

Nemaha County is a mid-size town in Kansas, with 10,213 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates. The median age here is 40 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older profile than the country as a whole. Places under 65,000 residents only appear in the five-year release, never the one-year file, so these values pool sixty months of responses and lag the current year by design.

Households in Nemaha County earn a median of $77,375 a year, 1.5% below the national figure of $78,538. 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 7.7% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Nemaha County is valued at $196,100, 35.4% below the national figure, while median gross rent runs $726 a month, 48.4% below the national figure, or roughly $8,712 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 11.3% 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 2.5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 78.8% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

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.
