Crystal City city, MO in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Crystal City city is a small town in Missouri, with 4,721 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #152 of 1,082 ranked by population — larger than 86% of them. The median age here is 43.2 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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 Crystal City city earn a median of $64,650 a year, 17.7% below the national figure of $78,538 and 16% above the $55,543 median for the 374 Missouri cities we cover. This figure covers the household, not the worker: two people on ordinary wages at one address outrank a single professional in the same table. Poverty reaches 14.5% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Crystal City city is valued at $169,500, 44.1% below the national figure and 11% above the $152,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs $893 a month, 36.5% below the national figure, or roughly $10,716 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 16.6% 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 2.6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 71.8% 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.
