Ethel, Missouri: commercial real estate data.
Ethel is a Census town of 65 people across 0.23 square miles of land, in Macon County. 100.0 percent of occupied homes are owned.
Underlined figures are computed by MMCG Analytics, not published by the agency.
This is a small place, and the figures below carry wide margins.
The American Community Survey reaches Ethel through a sample, not a count, and in a place this size that sample is thin. The population estimate here is 65 with a margin of error of plus or minus 46, which is 70.8 percent of the estimate itself. Every figure whose margin reaches 20 percent is printed with that margin beside it, so you can see the width of each one rather than having to assume it.
Nothing has been removed or adjusted. These are the published federal estimates, shown with the uncertainty the Census publishes alongside them.

Common questions
Ethel questions, answered from the record.
How many people live in Ethel, Missouri?
65, in 45 households. Ethel town covers 0.23 square miles of land, which is 282 people per square mile. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.

Macon County, which holds 100.0 percent of the place by area. Source: US Census Bureau, cartographic boundary file, places, 2024 vintage.
Is Ethel in the National Flood Insurance Program?
No, it is listed but not participating. Ethel appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as Ethel, city of, community 290462, with no Community Rating System class, so no CRS discount applies. Whether a specific parcel sits in a mapped special flood hazard area is an address level question the platform answers.
Are the county figures on this page Ethel figures?
No, and they are labeled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Macon County as a whole and there is no place level equivalent. They appear in one clearly marked section as context and are never presented as measurements of Ethel.
Is zoning published for Ethel?
No. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
