How much do households in Missouri spend on rent and homeowner costs?
About $34.6B a year, or $13,809 per household. That is 17% below the U.S. average (an index of 83, where 100 is the U.S. average). For the 667 property management companies on map listings, housing spending per company is 7% below the U.S. figure. The spending figure is all rent and homeowner costs, a measure of housing demand, not money property management companies take in.

The index of housing spending per company is 93, where 100 is the U.S. At the national ratio of property management companies to household spending, Missouri would have about 623, against 667 on map listings. There is one business with payroll in the industry for every 2,471 households, against one for every 1,638 across the U.S. The official count rose 6.2% from 2019 to 2023, against +11.4% for the U.S.

Among 5 scored small-town markets in or partly in Missouri, the Quincy area scores highest, at 54 (upper middle). Among 20 scored counties in Missouri, Cass County scores highest, at 78 (high). Scores compare each market with others of its kind across the U.S.
What is the Groundwork market score?
The Groundwork market score runs from 0 to 100 and compares a market with others of its kind for one business type: states with states, metro areas with metro areas, small-town markets and counties with their own. It weighs household spending per competitor (35%), households per business with payroll (25%), population growth (20%) and spending power (20%), each ranked against those peers. A higher score means that, taken together, the market has more household spending and more households for each business already there, faster population growth and more spending per household than similar markets. It describes a market, not any one site or deal. Missouri scores 39 for property management companies (lower middle), #40 of the 50 states and DC.
How can I see the market around a specific site?
Run a Groundwork site report on an address in Missouri. It maps the property management companies on map listings near the site and sizes the households and spending within the distance you choose. New accounts get 10 actions over 3 days, no card.
