Parnell, MO population, income and ZIP codes

Parnell city is a very small community in Missouri, with 213 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #722 of 1,082 ranked by population — larger than 33% of them. The median age here is 30.8 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 Parnell city earn a median of $42,500 a year, 45.9% below the national figure of $78,538 and 23% below the $55,543 median for the 374 Missouri cities we cover. Median household income counts every pre-tax dollar arriving at an address — wages, self-employment, Social Security, pensions, interest and public assistance — for everyone living there, so multi-earner households pull the figure up even where individual pay is modest. Poverty reaches 17.8% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Parnell city is valued at not published, while median gross rent runs $370 a month, 73.7% below the national figure, or roughly $4,440 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 10.4% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is cheap relative to what people here earn. 54.3% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

The Census withheld home value for Parnell city 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.
