Average rent in Kansas
The median asking rent in Kansas is $1,595 as of July 2026, based on active rental listings statewide. We report the median — the midpoint of asking rents — because it tracks the typical listing more reliably than a simple average, which luxury and outlier listings can skew.
Against an average home value of $232,160, that rent level prices Kansas at a 8.86% gross rental yield. Rent and yield vary widely by metro — use the metro breakdown below to compare individual Kansas markets.
