Daviess County, MO Property Records & Statistics
Daviess County has a median rent of $675, below the Missouri median of $704 and well under the national figure of $840.25. Homes are also affordable to buy: the median home value is $112,500, compared with $137,500 statewide and $173,750 nationally. Only 19% of occupied housing is renter-occupied, less than the state's 20.88% and the national 21.81%, which points to a market dominated by owners.
Property taxes are the main cost that runs against that pattern. The county's median property tax rate of 0.88% is higher than both the state rate of 0.76% and the national rate of 0.74%, so owners keep more of the savings on purchase price in the form of an ongoing tax bill than they would elsewhere in Missouri.
The median household income is $56,071, slightly above the state median of $55,167 but below the national median of $65,108. Local incomes therefore go further here than the national picture suggests, given the lower rents and home values.
Employment looks strong. The unemployment rate in Daviess County is 1.08%, about half the state's 2.24% and well under the national 2.87%. Together, the figures describe a small, owner-oriented housing market with low entry costs, steady incomes and very low unemployment, offset by a property tax rate above state and national levels.
