Pros
-
Affordable Cost of Living
Housing and general costs run about 10–20% below the national average. Median home prices range from $130K–$180K, depending on source and year -
Reasonably Safe & Walkable
Maryville ranks well on safety, with both violent and property crime rates broadly at or slightly below national averages for similar-sized communities -
Strong Community & Amenities
As a small university town (Northwest Missouri State University), Maryville enjoys community events and public spaces like parks, weekly farmers’ markets, and the Mozingo Lake recreation area -
Good Schools
A local public school district (Maryville R‑II) receives decent academic ratings, including proficiency scores above state averages, and Niche gives it a B+
Cons
-
Limited Job Market & Lower Incomes
While unemployment is low (2–2.6%), median household income ($40K) is well below U.S. norms (~$67K), and poverty rates are high (~19% of residents) -
Small‑Town Constraints
With a population of ~10,600, Maryville offers few cultural, arts, or entertainment venues beyond campus life. Some residents report needing to commute 1+ hour to access hospitals, malls, or theaters in larger metros -
High Rental Costs & Limited Jr. Options
Despite overall affordability, renting is getting more expensive—recent Reddit reports suggest many are paying $1,000–1,400/month for 2–3 bedroom homes, which is high for its size -
Basic Public Transport & Connectivity
Public transit is sparse, making car ownership almost essential. Internet and cell coverage can be spotty in outlying rural areas -
Demographic Skew Toward Young Adults
Nearly half the population (45.9%) is aged 18–24, due to the university presence, resulting in a median age around 23 and a lower proportion of families
