Webb City city, MO in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Webb City city is a mid-size town in Missouri, with 13,139 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #65 of 1,082 ranked by population — larger than 94% of them. The median age here is 33.8 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 Webb City city earn a median of $61,502 a year, 21.7% below the national figure of $78,538 and 11% above 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 20.7% of residents here, well above the 12.4% national rate, which is the single clearest signal in this dataset that median income here is carried by a narrow band of households.

The typical owner-occupied home in Webb City city is valued at $156,200, 48.5% below the national figure and within a couple of points of the $152,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs $937 a month, 33.4% below the national figure, or roughly $11,244 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 18.3% 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 2.5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 60.8% 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.
