Paynesville, MO population, income and ZIP codes

Paynesville village is a very small community in Missouri, with 49 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #981 of 1,082 ranked by population — larger than 9% of them. The median age here is 49.1 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 Paynesville village earn a median of $58,750 a year, 25.2% below the national figure of $78,538 and 6% above the $55,543 median for the 374 Missouri cities we cover. This figure covers the household, not the worker: two people on ordinary wages at one address outrank a single professional in the same table. Poverty reaches 10.2% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Paynesville village is valued at $104,200, 65.7% below the national figure and 32% below the $152,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 1.8×, 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. 70.4% 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 49 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Paynesville village against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld gross rent for Paynesville 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.
