Housing Median Monthly Rent ($), by Zip Code (ZCTA5) — Missouri

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

The St. Louis metropolitan area on the eastern border displays the most pronounced rent gradient in the state, with a small cluster of zip codes reaching $2,000–$2,500 in the western suburbs while adjacent urban zip codes fall below $750, illustrating stark intra-metro inequality. The Kansas City metro on the western border shows a similar but more moderate pattern, with several zip codes in the $1,000–$1,500 range surrounded by lower-rent areas. Rural southern and south-central Missouri consistently registers the lowest median rents statewide, predominantly in the $400–$650 range, while a broad swath of mid-state zip codes—particularly along the I-44 and I-70 corridors—clusters in the $600–$800 range.
