The Most Expensive ZIP Codes in Missouri
In order to identify the most expensive ZIP codes in each state, we turned to data from Zillow’s home value index, as well as the Census Bureau’s 2023 American Community Survey. We analyzed thousands upon thousands of ZIP codes throughout the U.S. as part of a national study, but here, we’re focusing on Missouri. The Zillow home value index tracks (as of February 2025) the home values of 1,084 ZIP codes in Missouri. As part of our analysis, we took into consideration the latest monthly home values Zillow has — February 2025 — as well as the average of 12 months of median home values from March 2024 to February 2025.
