What it’s like
The place. Cunningham is a very small Kansas city, home to far fewer people than most towns of its kind. Homes here cost less than the typical American house, and fewer adults hold a four-year degree than in the country as a whole. Winters are cold and summers turn hot, with a modest amount of snow and a fair amount of rain through the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with shops, manufacturing and farming also providing a living. Across Kingman County, some of the largest workplaces are Great Lakes Polymer Technologies, Kingman - Norwich Schools and Ninnescah Valley Health Systems. The county had fewer jobs last year than the year before, though unemployment has held steady compared with a year ago.
Things to do. Cunningham is a quiet place, and the days here tend to follow the seasons, from cold January afternoons to long, hot July ones. Evenings and weekends are spent close to home, among neighbors and farmland.
