Bragg City, MO population, income and ZIP codes

Bragg City town is a very small community in Missouri, with 64 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #949 of 1,082 ranked by population — larger than 12% of them. The median age here is 14 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. 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 Bragg City town earn a median of $15,000 a year, 80.9% below the national figure of $78,538 and 73% below 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 63.5% of residents here, well above the 12.4% national rate, which is the single clearest signal in this dataset that median income here is carried by a narrow band of households.

The typical owner-occupied home in Bragg City town is valued at $35,800, 88.2% below the national figure and 77% below the $152,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 2.4×, 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. 92.9% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, an owner-dominated market where rental listings are scarce and rent medians rest on a thin sample. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

A median age of 14 means a large student or early-career population; income medians in places like this understate household resources, since many residents are supported from outside the address. With 64 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Bragg City town against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld gross rent for Bragg City town because the sample was too thin to publish at this geography. Those values were suppressed at the source, not lost in our dataset, and we do not model a replacement. Everything else on this page comes straight from the ACS 2019-2023 ACS 5-year tables.
