Missouri City sits along the Missouri River in Clay County, about 20 miles northeast of Kansas City. This is a PO Box Only Zone. Despite having rural carrier routes serving 13 streets, there's no alternative mail delivery across the community's 0.73 square miles.
With a median age of 53.1 years and just 191 residents, this is a quiet, older community. The population of 1.8 people per household suggests singles and couples rather than families. Only 5% of residents under 18 live here, compared to 84 owner-occupied homes out of 105 total households.
The post office maintains 83 PO Boxes for 105 households, an adoption rate of 79%. That means most residents rely on PO Boxes rather than street delivery. Two rural routes serve homes along Main Street, Water Street, and other historic streets, but General Delivery is also available for those who need it.
Mail service is classified as PO Box only, but rural carrier delivery exists. Street addresses along Main Street, Water Street, Cemetery Hill Road, and other roads receive delivery via two rural routes. However, the PO Box Only Zone designation means this is the sole delivery option for the area. Residents can choose between rural delivery to their street address or picking up mail at the post office.
Missouri City has a working-class character. Median household income is $50,909, and median home values sit at $82,900. Just 5.8% of adults hold a bachelor's degree or higher. The town dates back to the mid-1800s, with 140 of the area's housing units built before 1939, showing its historic roots along the river.
The three business establishments here employ 36 workers. Transportation and warehousing dominate local employment, reflecting the town's location along transportation corridors. About 27% of workers telecommute, well above national averages for such a small community.
