What the Census counts in Cedar
Reaching customers beyond the Cedar city limits
Cedar’s nearest neighbors are Gaylord (5 miles), Athol (7.6 miles) and Kensington (9 miles). Rooks County Regional Airport (RCP) is 29 miles southwest of Cedar in a straight line. With 67 residents per square mile on 0.2 square miles of land, Cedar is spread out by Kansas standards. The county seat, Smith Center, is 12 miles northeast. Grand Island, NE, a city of 53,943, is 93 miles north. A 25-mile radius around Cedar takes in 15 other municipalities. If you serve more than one town, your website can have a service area page that names each of them, so a customer in Kirwin or Athol sees right away that you cover them.
By the 1991-2020 normals of the Smith Ctr weather station (12 miles from Cedar), July highs average 92°F and January lows average 16°F. About 26 inches of rain and melted snow fall in a normal year, most of it in July. Snowfall averages about 18 inches a year. Freezing nights (32°F or below) come about 136 times a year. Heat shapes the calendar: crews start early, afternoons belong to indoor activities, and the hottest weeks bring urgent searches. Plan the website around your busy season: send the changes by email a few weeks ahead.
