About Kansas

Kansas is a State with a rich history. It is named after the Native American Tribe who inhabited the area at the time. The state is aptly named “Cyclone State”, because of the tornadoes that occur quite frequently. Kansas is bordered by Nebraska, Missouri, Oklahoma and Colorado. This is a State with a wide and varied landscape. Hills, farms, woodlands, cities, sand dunes, grass lands, wheat farms and many more are common to Kansas. For those looking for retirement properties in a rural setting, this State may prove to be ideal. The Kansas prairies are well-known among almost everyone, and this is where the beautiful sunflowers of Kansas grow. This is the reason Kansas’ nickname is the “Sunflower State”.

Kansas’ economy relies upon agriculture, although it is a State that had an abundance of oil and natural gas. Cattle, sheep, wheat, soybeans, cotton, hogs, corn and salt are Kansas’ main agricultural outputs. Wheat is produced in great proportions in this State, and if you like bread this state produces it in spades. Although Kansas ranked 8th in oil production, in the US, it has seen a steady decline since 1999. The State was also ranked 8th in natural gas production, although this too has declined steadily since the 1990s due to natural depletion. However, Kansas remains strong, economy-wise, because of its manufacturing and service industries. Did you know that Kansas is currently, the leader in the production of civilian airplanes? Kansas had a population of 2.91 million as of 2022. Out of this 13.7% are over the age of 65. The average household size is 2.49 and the average price of a home is $189,900. There are plenty of senior living properties in Kansas for affordable prices.
