Overview

Understanding ZIP code 67627

ZIP code 67627 is assigned to Catharine, KS, and falls within Ellis County. Like every US postal code, it began as a mail-routing device rather than a geographic boundary — the US Postal Service groups delivery routes under a single code so carriers and sorting equipment can process mail efficiently. Today it also serves as a practical shorthand for the area itself: roughly 252 people live inside it.

At 321 residents per square mile spread over 0.786 square miles, 67627 reads as a small-town area. It is a sparsely populated postal code, and density shapes almost everything else on this page — how people get to work, whether they own or rent, and what housing costs.

Living here

What life in Catharine looks like

Housing in 67627 costs close to the national median. A typical home is valued at $254,700 against a US median of $207,500. The split between owning and renting is fairly even at 45.1% owner-occupied, which tends to indicate a mix of housing types rather than one dominant form.

The building stock is dominated by detached single-family houses, which account for 63.4% of housing units here. The median construction year is 2002, making the housing here relatively modern. At 0.0%, vacancy is low — housing here is tightly held.

The population skews notably young, with a median age of 18 against 42 nationally. Households are relatively large at 3.07 people on average, with 81.7% classified as family households.

Getting to work takes 21.8 minutes on average one way. The dominant mode is drove alone at 92.9% of workers.

Where to stay

Where to stay in Catharine, KS

Catharine is a smaller community, so options inside 67627 may be limited to a handful of independent inns, motels or bed-and-breakfast properties. Travellers often widen the search to the surrounding area, where the choice is greater and prices are usually competitive.

For reference, Denver, CO is about 313.8 miles away in a straight line, which is worth factoring in if you are comparing a stay here against one closer to the city centre.

Practical uses

What ZIP code 67627 is used for

Beyond addressing mail, 67627 does a lot of quiet administrative work. Retailers use it to calculate shipping and sales tax at checkout. Insurers use it to set premiums, since risk profiles vary geographically. Employers and marketers use it to define service areas. Government agencies use it to route benefits and organise reporting. If you have ever been asked for a postal code by a form that clearly does not intend to send you anything, this is why.

For anyone weighing a move, 67627 offers a compact profile of Catharine: 252 residents, 28.8% of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher, and an unemployment rate of 0.0%. A handful of figures like these answer more relocation questions than most neighbourhood guides do.

One caution worth repeating: a postal code is not a neighbourhood. 67627 may cover parts of several distinct areas, and a single neighbourhood in Catharine may be split across more than one code. Boundaries also shift as USPS adjusts delivery routes. Treat the figures here as describing a delivery area, which is what they actually measure.

For small ZIP codes the error can be large relative to the estimate — treat the direction as more reliable than the exact number.
