Versailles city, MO in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Versailles city is a small town in Missouri, with 2,580 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #235 of 1,082 ranked by population — larger than 78% of them. The median age here is 45.5 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 Versailles city earn a median of $34,970 a year, 55.5% below the national figure of $78,538 and 37% below the $55,543 median for the 374 Missouri cities we cover. Household income here is measured before tax and pooled across everyone at the address, which is why it reads higher than typical individual earnings in the same area. Poverty reaches 18% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Versailles city is valued at $113,000, 62.8% below the national figure and 26% below the $152,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs $505 a month, 64.1% below the national figure, or roughly $6,060 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 17.3% 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 3.2×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 57.7% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
