Harrisburg, MO population, income and ZIP codes

Harrisburg town is a very small community in Missouri, with 344 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #619 of 1,082 ranked by population — larger than 42% of them. The median age here is 28.9 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. 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 Harrisburg town earn a median of $51,250 a year, 34.7% below the national figure of $78,538 and 8% 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 11.2% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Harrisburg town is valued at $176,800, 41.7% below the national figure and 16% above the $152,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs $956 a month, 32% below the national figure, or roughly $11,472 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 22.4% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is within the standard affordability guideline. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 3.4×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 73.1% 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.

A median age of 28.9 means a large student or early-career population; income medians in places like this understate household resources, since many residents are supported from outside the address. With 344 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Harrisburg town against its county rather than against national figures.

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.
