What it’s like
The place. Peck is one of the smallest communities in Sumner County, Kansas, a place where residents are likely to know one another. Homes here are worth more than the county's incomes might suggest, so owning a house is a bigger step than in many nearby towns. Winters are cold, with January highs staying below freezing overnight and only modest snowfall, while July brings hot summer days and a fair amount of rain across the year.
Work. Residents of Peck work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with others in manufacturing, shops and the building trades. The biggest workplaces across Sumner County include Boyd Gaming, Wellington Schools and Walmart. Unemployment across the county has stayed close to where it was a year ago, and the county has added a few more jobs than the year before.
Things to do. The closest outing is Bartlett Arboretum, a botanical garden a short drive away. A longer drive brings you to the Wichita Art Museum and Sedgwick County Zoo, and the Ninnescah River is another trip of that length for time spent outdoors.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Peck’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively moderate.

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 Sumner County and the Wichita, KS metro.
