Understanding Kansas income limits
Income limits vary widely across Kansas because each one is tied to its local area median income, not a single statewide figure. A household that earns too much to qualify in a lower-cost rural county may still qualify in a higher-cost metro. HUD publishes new limits each spring, and they take effect for the federal fiscal year.
- 30% AMI (Extremely Low Income) — the threshold for the highest-priority Section 8 and public housing waitlists.
- 50% AMI (Very Low Income) — the standard eligibility ceiling for the Housing Choice Voucher program.
- 80% AMI (Low Income) — used for many affordable-housing and HOME-funded programs.
The figures above are for a four-person household. Limits scale by household size — roughly 70% of the four-person figure for a single person, rising to about 132% for an eight-person household. Open any area for the complete household-size table and the 60% AMI tier.
