Missouri Gas Prices in 2026

In June 2022,  MSDIS took a look at gas prices in Missouri compared to median household income . With the cost of fuel back in the headlines, we thought it important to revisit this subject and its impact on Missouri communities.

For this month’s story map about Missouri fuel prices, we compare prices at two different points during recent events in 2026.

Missouri Census Data Center partners with MSDIS on mapping and data projects. MSDIS is a spatial data retrieval and archival system offering many mapping resources, primarily focused on the state of Missouri.

Missouri Median Income vs. Gas Prices

This month’s story map examines trends in Missouri median household income in comparison to gas prices. Data about Missouri income comes from the 2016-2020 American Community Survey via the Missouri Census Data Center, and energy costs data are based off the Consumer Price Index from the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics. County-level gas prices have been taken from the AAA Missouri Gas Prices site, which updates each day.
