Excelsior Springs city, MO in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Excelsior Springs city is a mid-size town in Missouri, with 10,502 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #85 of 1,082 ranked by population — larger than 92% of them. The median age here is 35.7 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger 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 Excelsior Springs city earn a median of $74,056 a year, 5.7% below the national figure of $78,538 and 33% above the $55,543 median for the 374 Missouri cities we cover. Household income here is measured before tax and pooled across everyone at the address, which is why it reads higher than typical individual earnings in the same area. Poverty reaches 13.7% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Excelsior Springs city is valued at $174,000, 42.6% below the national figure and 14% above the $152,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs $907 a month, 35.5% below the national figure, or roughly $10,884 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 14.7% 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 2.3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so purchase prices are unusually low against local pay, the pattern in places where supply is plentiful and wage growth has been flat. 68% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. 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.
