Rutledge, MO population, income and ZIP codes

Rutledge town is a very small community in Missouri, with 80 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #909 of 1,082 ranked by population — larger than 16% of them. The median age here is 14.5 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 Rutledge town earn a median of $61,250 a year, 22% below the national figure of $78,538 and 10% 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 2.5% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Rutledge town is valued at not published, while median gross rent runs not published a month. 80% 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. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

A median age of 14.5 means a large student or early-career population; income medians in places like this understate household resources, since many residents are supported from outside the address. With 80 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Rutledge town against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld home value, gross rent for Rutledge town 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.
