Cuba city, MO in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Cuba city is a small town in Missouri, with 3,172 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #196 of 1,082 ranked by population — larger than 81% of them. The median age here is 35.9 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 Cuba city earn a median of $44,217 a year, 43.7% below the national figure of $78,538 and 20% below 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 16.7% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Cuba city is valued at $171,000, 43.6% below the national figure and 12% above the $152,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs $840 a month, 40.3% below the national figure, or roughly $10,080 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 22.8% 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 3.9×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 41.5% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, a renter-majority market, so rent figures matter more here than the home-value line. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
