Villa Ridge, MO population, income and ZIP codes

Villa Ridge CDP is a small town in Missouri, with 2,994 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #203 of 1,082 ranked by population — larger than 81% of them. The median age here is 34.4 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger 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 Villa Ridge CDP earn a median of $67,129 a year, 14.5% below the national figure of $78,538 and 21% 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 14.9% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Villa Ridge CDP is valued at $153,100, 49.5% below the national figure and within a couple of points of the $152,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,605 a month, 14.2% above the national figure, or roughly $19,260 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 28.7% 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 2.3×, 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. 81% 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.

No figure on this page is estimated by us; each one comes straight from the published ACS tables for this area. 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.
