Dearborn city, MO in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Dearborn city is a very small community in Missouri, with 545 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #501 of 1,082 ranked by population — larger than 53% of them. The median age here is 39.1 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 Dearborn city earn a median of $48,333 a year, 38.5% below the national figure of $78,538 and 13% 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 8.3% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Dearborn city is valued at $175,000, 42.3% below the national figure and 15% above the $152,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs $510 a month, 63.7% below the national figure, or roughly $6,120 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 12.7% 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 3.6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 74.5% 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.

With 545 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Dearborn city against its county rather than against national figures.
