Lake Timberline, MO population, income and ZIP codes

Lake Timberline CDP is a very small community in Missouri, with 773 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #428 of 1,082 ranked by population — larger than 60% of them. The median age here is 48.3 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 Lake Timberline CDP earn a median of $26,838 a year, 65.8% below the national figure of $78,538 and 52% 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 20.1% 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 Lake Timberline CDP is valued at $134,700, 55.6% below the national figure and 12% below the $152,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 94% 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. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

With 773 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Lake Timberline CDP against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld gross rent for Lake Timberline CDP because the sample was too thin to publish at this geography. Those values were suppressed at the source, not lost in our dataset, and we do not model a replacement. Everything else on this page comes straight from the ACS 2019-2023 ACS 5-year tables.
