Fulton, Missouri has about 12,617 people. That count is a 2020–2024 Census average, not a headcount from one day.

A typical home is worth about $155,900.

HUD's fair-market rent for a 2-bedroom in Callaway County is $1,123 a month. That is the county number, not an apartment listing in Fulton. It runs from October 2026 through September 2027.

In the Jefferson City, MO metro area, prices sit at 88.0 when the U.S. average is 100. That is a 2024 BEA index.

Missouri taxes wages. A typical combined sales tax is 8.4% as of January 1, 2026. That mix is statewide, not Fulton'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 Fulton bill.

In July 2026, a typical Missouri home paid 16.09¢ per kilowatt-hour. That is a state average from EIA, not Fulton's bill.

EIA did not publish a 2025 all-grades gas price for Missouri in the table we use.
