Where Shelby County sits among Missouri's counties
Each tick is one county's median home value. The highlighted band holds the middle half of them, and the dark line is the median. Shelby County is the 112th highest of 115.
What this figure is
It is not a sale price. The Census Bureau asks homeowners what they think their home would sell for, and this is the middle answer for owner-occupied homes in Shelby County. It covers every kind of home people own and live in, so the price of a particular house on the market can be far from it.
The figure describes the whole of 2020–2024, not a single year, and it is not adjusted for price changes since then. The smaller a county, the fewer households the survey reaches and the less exact its estimate: here the true value is very likely within $13,404 of the one shown.
