Perkins, MO population, income and ZIP codes

Perkins CDP is a very small community in Missouri, with 149 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #803 of 1,082 ranked by population — larger than 25% of them. The median age here is 39 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 Perkins CDP earn a median of not published a year. 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 4% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Perkins CDP is valued at $65,800, 78.3% below the national figure and 57% below the $152,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs $933 a month, 33.6% below the national figure, or roughly $11,196 across a full year. 39.5% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, a renter-majority market, so rent figures matter more here than the home-value line. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

With 149 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Perkins CDP against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld household income for Perkins CDP 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.
