What it’s like
The place. Buhler is a small city in Reno County, Kansas, and a young one by the usual measure: residents are younger than in most American towns. Most homes are lived in by their owners, and incomes run above the county's, with relatively few people living below the poverty line. Winters are cold and summers hot, with a moderate amount of rain and melted snow across the year.
Work. Schools, hospitals and social care employ more of Buhler's residents than any other field, followed by manufacturing, shops, and banks, insurance and property. Among the largest workplaces in town are Buhler Schools, the telecommunications company IdeaTek Home Turf, and Gregory, a signs and signboards manufacturer. Many residents have a four-year degree, the typical commute is a modest one, and some people work from home.
Things to do. A short drive away, the Kansas Cosmosphere and Space Center is a museum, Lake Inman is a lake, and Sand Hills State Park is a protected area. A longer drive away, the Hutchinson Zoo offers a day among animals, and Cheney State Park is another protected area with open country to explore.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Buhler’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 Reno County and the Hutchinson, KS metro.
