Canton, Missouri has about 2,752 people. That count is a 2020–2024 Census average, not a headcount from one day.
A typical home is worth about $117,900.
HUD's fair-market rent for a 2-bedroom in Lewis County is $962 a month. That is the county number, not an apartment listing in Canton. It runs from October 2026 through September 2027.
Missouri's prices sit at 90.8 when the U.S. average is 100. This place is not in a metro area with its own index, so this is the state number from BEA for 2024.
Missouri taxes wages. A typical combined sales tax is 8.4% as of January 1, 2026. That mix is statewide, not Canton's exact store tax.
Some places in Missouri add a local wage tax. In 2023 the state average was about 0.18% of income. That is not a Canton bill.
