Wellsville city, MO in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Wellsville city is a small town in Missouri, with 1,197 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #348 of 1,082 ranked by population — larger than 67% of them. The median age here is 38.2 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 Wellsville city earn a median of $61,635 a year, 21.5% 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 11.6% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Wellsville city is valued at $74,100, 75.6% below the national figure and 51% below the $152,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs $531 a month, 62.2% below the national figure, or roughly $6,372 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 10.3% 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 1.2×, 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. 79.7% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. 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.
