Missouri City, TX population, income and ZIP codes

Missouri City city is a small city in Texas, with 75,234 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #56 of 1,863 ranked by population — larger than 97% of them. The median age here is 40.6 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older profile than the country as a whole. At this size the Census also publishes one-year estimates; the five-year values used here are steadier and let you compare against smaller neighbours on the same basis.

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 6.1% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Missouri City city is valued at $281,600, 7.2% below the national figure and 57% above the $179,100 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,908 a month, 35.7% above the national figure, or roughly $22,896 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 23.7% 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 2.9×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 81.4% 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.
