Forsyth, Missouri has about 2,766 people. That count is a 2020–2024 Census average, not a headcount from one day.
A typical home is worth about $192,600.
HUD's fair-market rent for a 2-bedroom in Taney County is $1,126 a month. That is the county number, not an apartment listing in Forsyth. 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 Forsyth'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 Forsyth bill.
In July 2026, a typical Missouri home paid 16.09¢ per kilowatt-hour. That is a state average from EIA, not Forsyth's bill.
