Maplewood city, MO in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Maplewood city is a mid-size town in Missouri, with 8,154 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #105 of 1,082 ranked by population — larger than 90% of them. The median age here is 33.4 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. Places under 65,000 residents only appear in the five-year release, never the one-year file, so these values pool sixty months of responses and lag the current year by design.

Households in Maplewood city earn a median of $65,510 a year, 16.6% below the national figure of $78,538 and 18% above the $55,543 median for the 374 Missouri cities we cover. Household income here is measured before tax and pooled across everyone at the address, which is why it reads higher than typical individual earnings in the same area. Poverty reaches 10.5% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Maplewood city is valued at $231,500, 23.7% below the national figure and 52% above the $152,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs $898 a month, 36.1% below the national figure, or roughly $10,776 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 16.4% 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 3.5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 44.6% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, a renter-majority market, so rent figures matter more here than the home-value line. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
