Marthasville, MO population, income and ZIP codes

Marthasville city is a small town in Missouri, with 2,587 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #234 of 1,082 ranked by population — larger than 78% of them. The median age here is 30.2 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 Marthasville city earn a median of $114,950 a year, 46.4% above the national figure of $78,538 and 107% 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 1% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Marthasville city is valued at $165,400, 45.5% below the national figure and 9% above the $152,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,065 a month, 24.3% below the national figure, or roughly $12,780 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 11.1% 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 1.4×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so purchase prices are unusually low against local pay, the pattern in places where supply is plentiful and wage growth has been flat. 85.5% 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.
