Novelty, MO population, income and ZIP codes

Novelty village is a very small community in Missouri, with 103 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #874 of 1,082 ranked by population — larger than 19% of them. The median age here is 38.8 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. 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 Novelty village earn a median of $83,409 a year, 6.2% above the national figure of $78,538 and 50% 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 5.8% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Novelty village is valued at $67,500, 77.8% below the national figure and 56% below the $152,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 0.8×, 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. 71.1% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. 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 103 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Novelty village against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld gross rent for Novelty village 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.
