Marshall city, MO in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Marshall city is a mid-size town in Missouri, with 13,699 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #62 of 1,082 ranked by population — larger than 94% of them. The median age here is 31.2 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. 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 Marshall city earn a median of $54,815 a year, 30.2% below the national figure of $78,538 and within a couple of points of 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 16.3% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Marshall city is valued at $145,900, 51.9% below the national figure and 4% below the $152,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs $769 a month, 45.3% below the national figure, or roughly $9,228 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 16.8% 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 2.7×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 66.6% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. 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.
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.
