Ransom County in numbers

American Community Survey five-year estimates ending 2024. These are sample estimates, not a count — each carries a margin of error, and where that margin is too wide to mean anything the figure is withheld rather than printed.

2 figures are withheld above. The Census Bureau publishes them, but with a margin of error wider than 30% of the value — which for a place this size means the survey sampled too few households to say. They are left out rather than shown with a caveat nobody reads.

Source: U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey 2024 5-year estimates. Margins of error are the Bureau’s own, at 90% confidence; margins for rates are derived using the Bureau’s published formulas.

Federal money

Obligations recorded against a place of performance in Ransom County. An obligation is a legal commitment to pay, not cash out the door — outlays follow later, sometimes by years.

Figures are nominal — not adjusted for inflation — because USAspending publishes them that way and adjusting them here would mean this site had edited a government figure. The per-resident figure divides by the 2020 decennial count, which is the population USAspending carries; a 2020 denominator against 2025 spending overstates per-head figures wherever a place has grown since. Ransom County ranks 2699th of 3,233 on this measure in FY2025.
