St. Paul city, MO in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
St. Paul city is a small town in Missouri, with 3,292 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #191 of 1,082 ranked by population — larger than 82% of them. The median age here is 43.1 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 St. Paul city earn a median of $154,022 a year, 96.1% above the national figure of $78,538 and 177% above the $55,543 median for the 374 Missouri cities we cover. The median is the midpoint household, not an average, so a handful of very high earners cannot drag it upward the way they distort a mean. Poverty reaches 0.2% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in St. Paul city is valued at $421,900, 39.1% above the national figure and 177% above the $152,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs $697 a month, 50.4% below the national figure, or roughly $8,364 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 5.4% 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 2.7×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 97.6% 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.
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.
