Shannon County, MO Property Records & Statistics
Shannon County has a median rent of $547, far below both the Missouri median of $704 and the national median of $840.25. Only 15.82% of occupied homes are rented, compared with 20.88% statewide and 21.81% nationally, so homeownership is the norm in the county.
The median home value is $141,600, slightly above the state median of $137,500 but well below the national $173,750. Property taxes are light: the county's median rate of 0.34% is less than half the state's 0.76% and the national 0.74%. Homeowners therefore pay relatively little in annual tax compared with most of Missouri.
Median household income is $38,365, noticeably lower than the state's $55,167 and the national $65,108, which suggests that housing is affordable largely because local incomes are modest. The unemployment rate is 2.13%, under the state's 2.24% and the national 2.87%.
Overall, the figures show a low-rent, low-tax, owner-dominated market where home values are close to the state level, incomes trail both benchmarks, and unemployment is slightly lower than average.
