Shakertowne, MO population, income and ZIP codes

Shakertowne CDP is a very small community in Missouri, with 416 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #561 of 1,082 ranked by population — larger than 48% of them. The median age here is 46.8 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 Shakertowne CDP earn a median of $51,756 a year, 34.1% below the national figure of $78,538 and 7% below 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 2.4% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Shakertowne CDP is valued at $171,000, 43.6% below the national figure and 12% above the $152,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs $677 a month, 51.8% below the national figure, or roughly $8,124 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 15.7% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is cheap relative to what people here earn. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 3.3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 62.4% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. 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 416 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Shakertowne CDP against its county rather than against national figures.

All values below were released by the Census for this exact geography, with no gap-filling on our side. Small-area estimates still carry wider margins of error than state or national figures, so check the linked ACS tables before relying on them for lending, appraisal or legal work.
