ZIP code 65630

ZIP 65630 is a very small community in Christian County, Missouri, with 518 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #772 of 1,035 ranked by population — larger than 25% of them. The median age here is 56 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 65630 earn a median of $110,107 a year, 40.2% above the national figure of $78,538. 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 3.5% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in ZIP 65630 is valued at $456,900, 50.6% above the national figure, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 4.1×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 91.6% 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.

A median age of 56 puts ZIP 65630 well into retirement-weighted territory, which pulls median household income down even where household wealth is high, because retirement draws are counted differently from wages. With 518 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare ZIP 65630 against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld gross rent for ZIP 65630 because the sample was too thin to publish at this geography. Those values were suppressed at the source, not lost in our dataset, and we do not model a replacement. Everything else on this page comes straight from the ACS 2019-2023 ACS 5-year tables.

ZIP 65630 is tabulated inside Christian County, Missouri, one of 13 ZIP areas the Census publishes for that county and 1,035 across Missouri. Fewer than 2,500 people are counted here, so the ZIP behaves like a village delivery route rather than a neighbourhood. 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 65630 can be handled by a post office in a neighbouring county even though the tabulation area is filed here.

Against its own county, 65630 reports a median household income of $110,107, 43% above the $77,232 county median, and 82% above the $60,651 typical MO ZIP. Owner-occupied homes are valued at a median of $456,900, 107% above the county figure and 182% above the statewide ZIP median. Rent is reported gross — the contract amount plus tenant-paid utilities — at not published 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 65630 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 65630 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.
