64421, Amazonia, MO

The 64421 zip code of Amazonia, MO is located in the southwest corner of the state and includes a portion of the city of St. Joseph. The population was 10,814 as of the 2010 census, making it one of the more densely populated areas in Missouri. The median household income was $59,912, which is above the statewide median but below that of most other zip codes in Missouri. Home values in this area have increased significantly over the past several years and are now among the highest in Missouri.

One factor contributing to this high home value is that Amazonia is a desirable location. It is close to major metropolitan areas such as Kansas City and St. Louis but also has plenty of rural areas for those who want them. Another factor is that there are a number of new developments being built in this area, which means there are more homes available for sale than there were a few years ago.

Despite these factors, home equity remains relatively low compared to other parts of Missouri and across much of the United States. This may be due to a number of factors including low incomes and high housing costs relative to incomes; limited access to credit; and slow economic growth over recent years. In spite of these challenges, however, home values continue to rise in Amazonia – especially given its proximity to major metropolitan areas – so it would appear that buyers are finding opportunities here that they may not find elsewhere.
