What it’s like
The place. Andale is a very small city in Sedgwick County, home to far fewer people than most places on this site. Residents are younger than in many American towns, and almost everyone owns the home they live in, a good deal more than across the county. Household incomes run well above the county's, and fewer people live below the poverty line than you might expect.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, with others in the building trades, manufacturing, and professional and business services. Across Sedgwick County, the largest workplaces include Spirit AeroSystems, Wichita Schools and Textron Aviation - Mid-Continent. A typical commute is a moderate one, and only a small number of people work from home.
Things to do. Tanganyika Wildlife Park, a zoo, is a short drive away. Farther afield, a longer drive reaches the Sedgwick County Zoo, the Wichita Art Museum, and Cheney State Park, a protected area around Cheney Reservoir. Winters are cold and summers hot, with a moderate amount of rain and melted snow through the year.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Andale’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively moderate. It is meant for planning, not a substitute for a local risk assessment or a flood map: FEMA’s index.
From the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2020 census and its American Community Survey (2020–2024 five-year estimates), and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. A survey, so each figure has a margin of error, and figures it is not sure of are left out. More on Sedgwick County and the Wichita, KS metro.
