ZIP 63552 in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

ZIP 63552 is a mid-size town in Macon County, Missouri, with 7,383 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #232 of 1,035 ranked by population — larger than 77% of them. The median age here is 46.3 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 ZIP 63552 earn a median of $58,993 a year, 24.9% below the national figure of $78,538. 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% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in ZIP 63552 is valued at $150,200, 50.5% below the national figure, while median gross rent runs $755 a month, 46.3% below the national figure, or roughly $9,060 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 15.4% 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. 71.3% 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.

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.

Reading ZIP 63552 in context

How 63552 sits inside Macon County and Missouri.

ZIP 63552 is tabulated inside Macon County, Missouri, one of 10 ZIP areas the Census publishes for that county and 1,035 across Missouri. Population sits in the small-town band, typically one main street plus the addresses that feed into it. County assignment on this page follows the largest share of the ZIP's land area, which matters where a delivery route crosses a county line: mail addressed to 63552 can be handled by a post office in a neighbouring county even though the tabulation area is filed here.

Against its own county, 63552 reports a median household income of $58,993, 5% above the $56,250 county median, and 3% below the $60,651 typical MO ZIP. Owner-occupied homes are valued at a median of $150,200, 34% above the county figure and 7% below the statewide ZIP median. Rent is reported gross — the contract amount plus tenant-paid utilities — at $755 a month, which is why it reads higher than the advertised rent on a listing for the same unit.

Missouri charges 4.225% statewide, and local governments overlapping 63552 may add county, city or special-district levies on top. We publish the state floor for this ZIP rather than guessing a combined figure, because ZIP boundaries and taxing-district boundaries were drawn for different purposes and do not line up.

Everything above comes from the Census Bureau American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates for this ZIP Code Tabulation Area, with sales tax rates traced to the state revenue agency. Five-year estimates pool sixty months of responses, so they are stable enough to compare 63552 with its neighbours but always trail the current year, and any value the Census suppressed for sample size is shown as unpublished rather than filled in with a model.
