Normandy is a small town with a large college student population. Because of this, there is a real youthful, hip vibe to the place, and much of the life in the town is centered on the college. This has helped Normandy to buck the trend of other small towns that have suffered declining populations over the past 20 to 30 years. Spending by students, and faculty and staff jobs, are a big part of the local economy.
One of the benefits of Normandy is that there is very little traffic. The average commute to work is 18.67 minutes, which is substantially less than the national average. Not only does this mean that the drive to work is less aggravating, but noise and pollution levels are lower as a result.
The overall education level of Normandy is somewhat higher than in the average US city of 21.84%: 25.43% of adults 25 and older in the city have at least a bachelor's degree.
The per capita income in Normandy in 2022 was $20,417, which is low income relative to Missouri and the nation. This equates to an annual income of $81,668 for a family of four.
