Glasgow Village, MO population, income and ZIP codes

Glasgow Village CDP is a mid-size town in Missouri, with 5,491 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #135 of 1,082 ranked by population — larger than 87% of them. The median age here is 36.1 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 Glasgow Village CDP earn a median of $38,571 a year, 50.9% below the national figure of $78,538 and 31% below the $55,543 median for the 374 Missouri cities we cover. Median household income counts every pre-tax dollar arriving at an address — wages, self-employment, Social Security, pensions, interest and public assistance — for everyone living there, so multi-earner households pull the figure up even where individual pay is modest. Poverty reaches 39.9% of residents here, well above the 12.4% national rate, which is the single clearest signal in this dataset that median income here is carried by a narrow band of households.

The typical owner-occupied home in Glasgow Village CDP is valued at $69,600, 77.1% below the national figure and 54% below the $152,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,113 a month, 20.8% below the national figure, or roughly $13,356 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 34.6% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is a stretch on median earnings. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 1.8×, 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. 35.6% 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.

Glasgow Village CDP is the unusual combination of expensive to rent and cheap to buy: rent takes 34.6% of median income while homes cost only 1.8× it. Where that pattern shows up, the gap is normally down to down-payment and credit barriers rather than price.

All values below were released by the Census for this exact geography, with no gap-filling on our side. 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.
