Lone Jack, MO population, income and ZIP codes

Lone Jack city is a small town in Missouri, with 1,487 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #312 of 1,082 ranked by population — larger than 71% of them. The median age here is 32.1 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 Lone Jack city earn a median of $116,328 a year, 48.1% above the national figure of $78,538 and 109% above 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 4% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Lone Jack city is valued at $307,400, 1.3% above the national figure and 102% above the $152,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,197 a month, 14.9% below the national figure, or roughly $14,364 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 12.3% 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 2.6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 89.7% 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. Rent is reported gross — contract rent plus tenant-paid utilities — which is why it runs above the advertised price on a listing for the same unit.

Every value on this page is published directly by the Census for this area — nothing is modelled or interpolated. 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.
