Hayti city, MO in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Hayti city is a small town in Missouri, with 2,145 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #259 of 1,082 ranked by population — larger than 76% of them. The median age here is 42.1 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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 Hayti city earn a median of $25,486 a year, 67.5% below the national figure of $78,538 and 54% below the $55,543 median for the 374 Missouri cities we cover. This figure covers the household, not the worker: two people on ordinary wages at one address outrank a single professional in the same table. Poverty reaches 40.3% 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 Hayti city is valued at $73,500, 75.8% below the national figure and 52% below the $152,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs $623 a month, 55.7% below the national figure, or roughly $7,476 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 29.3% 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 2.9×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 55.4% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
No figure on this page is estimated by us; each one comes straight from the published ACS tables for this area. 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.
