Cimarron, KS

ZIP code 67835 is assigned to Cimarron, KS, and falls within Gray County. Like every US postal code, it began as a mail-routing device rather than a geographic boundary — the US Postal Service groups delivery routes under a single code so carriers and sorting equipment can process mail efficiently. Today it also serves as a practical shorthand for the area itself: roughly 2,660 people live inside it.

At 5 residents per square mile spread over 483.648 square miles, 67835 reads as a rural area. It is a smaller postal code by population, and density shapes almost everything else on this page — how people get to work, whether they own or rent, and what housing costs.

Household earnings run above the national median. At $85,139, 67835 sits comfortably in the upper half, ahead of 71% of them. The US median for comparison is $70,109. Bear in mind that median income describes the midpoint household, not the average — it is not pulled upward by a handful of very high earners the way a mean would be.

Housing in 67835 costs close to the national median. A typical home is valued at $179,100 against a US median of $207,500, and median gross rent runs $812 a month. The split between owning and renting is fairly even at 69.5% owner-occupied, which tends to indicate a mix of housing types rather than one dominant form.

The building stock is dominated by detached single-family houses, which account for 80.6% of housing units here. The median construction year is 1975, making the housing here from the later twentieth century.

The population skews younger than the country as a whole, with a median age of 32.4 against 42 nationally. The average household holds 2.89 people, and 81.5% are family households.

Getting to work takes 19.3 minutes on average one way. The dominant mode is drove alone at 87.4% of workers.

Beyond addressing mail, 67835 does a lot of quiet administrative work. Retailers use it to calculate shipping and sales tax at checkout. Insurers use it to set premiums, since risk profiles vary geographically. Employers and marketers use it to define service areas. Government agencies use it to route benefits and organise reporting. If you have ever been asked for a postal code by a form that clearly does not intend to send you anything, this is why.

For anyone weighing a move, 67835 offers a compact profile of Cimarron: 2,660 residents, a median household income of $85,139, 28.6% of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher, and an unemployment rate of 2.5%. A handful of figures like these answer more relocation questions than most neighbourhood guides do.

One caution worth repeating: a postal code is not a neighbourhood. 67835 may cover parts of several distinct areas, and a single neighbourhood in Cimarron may be split across more than one code. Boundaries also shift as USPS adjusts delivery routes. Treat the figures here as describing a delivery area, which is what they actually measure.
