Pocahontas town, MO in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Pocahontas town is a very small community in Missouri, with 47 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #986 of 1,082 ranked by population — larger than 8% of them. The median age here is 37.8 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 Pocahontas town earn a median of $66,875 a year, 14.9% below the national figure of $78,538 and 20% 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 17% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Pocahontas town is valued at $128,100, 57.8% below the national figure and 16% below the $152,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 1.9×, 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. 76.5% 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 47 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Pocahontas town against its county rather than against national figures.
The Census withheld gross rent for Pocahontas town because the sample was too thin to publish at this geography.
