Dardenne Prairie, MO population, income and ZIP codes

Dardenne Prairie city is a mid-size town in Missouri, with 13,137 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #66 of 1,082 ranked by population — larger than 93% of them. The median age here is 42.7 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older profile than the country as a whole. Places under 65,000 residents only appear in the five-year release, never the one-year file, so these values pool sixty months of responses and lag the current year by design.

Households in Dardenne Prairie city earn a median of $155,585 a year, 98.1% above the national figure of $78,538 and 180% above 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 1.3% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Dardenne Prairie city is valued at $392,300, 29.3% above the national figure and 157% above the $152,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,359 a month, 3.3% below the national figure, or roughly $16,308 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 10.5% 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 2.5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 93.3% 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. Rent is reported gross — contract rent plus tenant-paid utilities — which is why it runs above the advertised price on a listing for the same unit.

Every value on this page is published directly by the Census for this area — nothing is modelled or interpolated. Small-area estimates still carry wider margins of error than state or national figures, so check the linked ACS tables before relying on them for lending, appraisal or legal work.
