Old Appleton, MO population, income and ZIP codes

Old Appleton town is a very small community in Missouri, with 80 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #907 of 1,082 ranked by population — larger than 16% of them. The median age here is 35.8 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 Old Appleton town earn a median of $75,625 a year, 3.7% below the national figure of $78,538 and 36% above the $55,543 median for the 374 Missouri cities we cover. The median is the midpoint household, not an average, so a handful of very high earners cannot drag it upward the way they distort a mean. Poverty reaches 5% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Old Appleton town is valued at $101,400, 66.6% below the national figure and 33% below the $152,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 1.3×, 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. 67.7% 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 80 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Old Appleton town against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld gross rent for Old Appleton town 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.
