ZIP code 64011

ZIP 64011 is a small town in Lafayette County, Missouri, with 4,591 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #300 of 1,035 ranked by population — larger than 71% of them. The median age here is 46.5 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 ZIP 64011 earn a median of $84,453 a year, 7.5% above the national figure of $78,538. Median household income counts every pre-tax dollar arriving at an address — wages, self-employment, Social Security, pensions, interest and public assistance — for everyone living there, so multi-earner households pull the figure up even where individual pay is modest. Poverty reaches 16.4% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in ZIP 64011 is valued at $313,400, 3.3% above the national figure, while median gross rent runs $599 a month, 57.4% below the national figure, or roughly $7,188 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 8.5% 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 3.7×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 85% 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.

Median income runs above the national figure while poverty also runs above it — a split distribution, not a uniformly comfortable place. Averages hide that; the two numbers together do not.

All values below were released by the Census for this exact geography, with no gap-filling on our side. 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.

ZIP 64011 is tabulated inside Lafayette County, Missouri, one of 12 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 64011 can be handled by a post office in a neighbouring county even though the tabulation area is filed here.

Against its own county, 64011 reports a median household income of $84,453, close to the $83,090 county median, and 39% above the $60,651 typical MO ZIP. Owner-occupied homes are valued at a median of $313,400, 71% above the county figure and 93% above the statewide ZIP median. Rent is reported gross — the contract amount plus tenant-paid utilities — at $599 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 64011 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 64011 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.
