Missouri at a glance
- Scale. Missouri is divided into 115 counties and independent cities across 68,747 sq mi of land — an average of 598 sq mi each. Census TIGER

Missouri’s 114 counties and 1 independent city, by the numbers
Every county or independent city’s population, median household income, unemployment, density, and land area — sortable by any column, so you can find yours or rank by what matters to you. A few patterns run through the data:
- Concentrated. Half of Missouri’s 6,196,156 residents live in just 7 of 115 counties and independent cities, and the five largest hold 43.7% of the total. Census PEP 2023
- Income tracks poverty. The gap from richest to poorest runs 2.4×, and the 10 highest-income counties and independent cities average 7.9% in poverty against 21.1% for the 10 lowest. Census SAIPE 2023
- Mostly small. Half of Missouri’s counties and independent cities have fewer than 18,950 residents, and half report a median household income below $56,121 — a few metros lift the statewide totals well above both. Census PEP 2023 · SAIPE 2023
- Lopsided density. Only 21 of 115 counties and independent cities are denser than Missouri’s statewide average of 90 people per square mile — the rest are more rural. Census PEP 2023 · TIGER

A city can span more than one county; each is listed in its primary county — the one its center falls in. Some Missouri cities are independent cities — each is its own county-equivalent, not part of a surrounding county — and are marked as such.
