Household Average Size by Zip Code (ZCTA5) — Kansas

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

Zip codes in the southwest corner of Kansas and scattered areas along the western border display notably higher average household sizes (3.0–3.5+), likely reflecting communities with larger immigrant and agricultural worker populations such as those around Garden City and Liberal. The northeast quadrant, particularly in and around the Kansas City metro fringe and college towns like Manhattan and Lawrence, trends toward smaller household sizes (1.5–2.2), consistent with higher concentrations of single-person households, student populations, and older demographics. A broad swath of central Kansas maintains moderate household sizes (2.4–2.8), with isolated pockets of very low values in small rural communities that may have aging populations or institutional housing.
