Atlanta city, MO in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Atlanta city is a very small community in Missouri, with 439 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #550 of 1,082 ranked by population — larger than 49% of them. The median age here is 37.5 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. At this population the ACS sample is small, so the margin of error around every dollar figure below is wide — treat the numbers as a band, not a point, and expect them to move between annual releases without the place itself changing.

Households in Atlanta city earn a median of $56,500 a year, 28.1% below the national figure of $78,538 and within a couple of points of the $55,543 median for the 374 Missouri cities we cover. The median is the midpoint household, not an average, so a handful of very high earners cannot drag it upward the way they distort a mean. Poverty reaches 8.4% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Atlanta city is valued at $94,500, 68.9% below the national figure and 38% below the $152,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs $625 a month, 55.5% below the national figure, or roughly $7,500 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 13.3% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is cheap relative to what people here earn. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 1.7×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so purchase prices are unusually low against local pay, the pattern in places where supply is plentiful and wage growth has been flat. 75.3% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

With 439 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Atlanta city against its county rather than against national figures.
