The median property tax rate is 0.62%, lower than both the state rate of 0.76% and the national rate of 0.74%. That gives owners of homes valued above the state median a lighter tax rate than is typical in Missouri.
The median household income is $50,010.50, below the state's $55,167 and the national $65,108. Rents remain below average while home values run above the state median, which can make buying a stretch relative to local earnings.

Together, the figures show a county with low rents and taxes, relatively high home values for the state, incomes that trail state and national levels, and employment that is stable.
