Spanish Lake CDP, MO in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Spanish Lake CDP is a mid-size town in Missouri, with 18,183 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #45 of 1,082 ranked by population — larger than 95% of them. The median age here is 34.5 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. Places under 65,000 residents only appear in the five-year release, never the one-year file, so these values pool sixty months of responses and lag the current year by design.

Households in Spanish Lake CDP earn a median of $51,125 a year, 34.9% below the national figure of $78,538 and 8% 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 17.3% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Spanish Lake CDP is valued at $121,300, 60% below the national figure and 20% below the $152,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,073 a month, 23.7% below the national figure, or roughly $12,876 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 25.2% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is within the standard affordability guideline. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 2.4×, 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. 49% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. Rent is reported gross — contract rent plus tenant-paid utilities — which is why it runs above the advertised price on a listing for the same unit.
