Ellisville city, MO in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Ellisville city is a mid-size town in Missouri, with 9,908 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #88 of 1,082 ranked by population — larger than 91% of them. The median age here is 44.3 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 Ellisville city earn a median of $105,276 a year, 34% above the national figure of $78,538 and 90% 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 3.8% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Ellisville city is valued at $347,300, 14.5% above the national figure and 128% above the $152,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,535 a month, 9.2% above the national figure, or roughly $18,420 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 17.5% 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 3.3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 73.4% 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.
