Portage Des Sioux, MO population, income and ZIP codes

Portage Des Sioux city is a very small community in Missouri, with 352 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #612 of 1,082 ranked by population — larger than 43% of them. The median age here is 39.2 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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 Portage Des Sioux city earn a median of $60,694 a year, 22.7% below the national figure of $78,538 and 9% above 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 12.8% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Portage Des Sioux city is valued at $168,500, 44.5% below the national figure and 11% above the $152,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 2.8×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 81.3% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, an owner-dominated market where rental listings are scarce and rent medians rest on a thin sample. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

The Census withheld gross rent for Portage Des Sioux 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.
