Bella Villa, MO population, income and ZIP codes

Bella Villa city is a very small community in Missouri, with 664 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #458 of 1,082 ranked by population — larger than 57% of them. The median age here is 45.2 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 Bella Villa city earn a median of $55,250 a year, 29.7% 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. Median household income counts every pre-tax dollar arriving at an address — wages, self-employment, Social Security, pensions, interest and public assistance — for everyone living there, so multi-earner households pull the figure up even where individual pay is modest. Poverty reaches 8.3% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Bella Villa city is valued at $147,100, 51.5% below the national figure and 3% below the $152,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,199 a month, 14.7% below the national figure, or roughly $14,388 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 26% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is within the standard affordability guideline. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 2.7×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 79.2% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
