Rooks County, KS

Stockton, Kansas has about 1,656 people. That count is a 2020–2024 Census average, not a headcount from one day.

A typical home is worth about $95,000.

HUD's fair-market rent for a 2-bedroom in Rooks County is $961 a month. That is the county number, not an apartment listing in Stockton. It runs from October 2026 through September 2027.

Kansas's prices sit at 90.1 when the U.S. average is 100. This place is not in a metro area with its own index, so this is the state number from BEA for 2024.

Kansas taxes wages. A typical combined sales tax is 8.7% as of January 1, 2026. That mix is statewide, not Stockton's exact store tax.

In July 2026, a typical Kansas home paid 15.27¢ per kilowatt-hour. That is a state average from EIA, not Stockton's bill.

EIA did not publish a 2025 all-grades gas price for Kansas in the table we use.
