Good if you want ultra-cheap land or a minimal-cost lifestyle.

Extremely quiet, private lifestyle

Population is single digits to a few dozen people depending on data source
Almost no traffic, noise, or crowding

This is about as “off-the-grid small town” as it gets.

Rural Kansas scenery

Located in Chase County (Flint Hills region)
Open land, prairie views, and nature

Ideal if you like isolation, ranching, or wide-open space.

High homeownership

A large share of residents own homes outright

Realistically:

Very few (or zero) restaurants, stores, or services nearby
Amenities score is very low

You’ll need to drive to other towns for almost everything.
