Josephville, MO population, income and ZIP codes

Josephville village is a very small community in Missouri, with 646 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #464 of 1,082 ranked by population — larger than 57% of them. The median age here is 46.3 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 Josephville village earn a median of $111,875 a year, 42.4% above the national figure of $78,538 and 101% above 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 17.5% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Josephville village is valued at $478,100, 57.6% above the national figure and 214% above the $152,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs $778 a month, 44.7% below the national figure, or roughly $9,336 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 8.3% 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 4.3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 81.7% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, an owner-dominated market where rental listings are scarce and rent medians rest on a thin sample. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

Median income runs above the national figure while poverty also runs above it — a split distribution, not a uniformly comfortable place. Averages hide that; the two numbers together do not. With 646 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Josephville village 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.
