What it costs to live in KS

Before the incentive, KS itself is 3 of the 48 states we cover on cost of living, counting from the cheapest, with a typical index of 89.4 (US = 100). A typical home runs $225,557 and rent $1,201/mo.

KS levies a state income tax, so weigh the one-off award against the ongoing bill. Effective property tax is around 1.3% of home value.

How this compares

This is one of 8 non-cash offers we track — programs giving away land or lots rather than writing a cheque. They are harder to value than a cash award because the real cost is what you then have to build, but they can be the largest offers of all if you were planning to build anyway.
