Normandy is a small town where college students really create the town feel and character. So many small towns have lost population over the last 20-30 years that having the local college presence in the Normandy area, with all of the energy of the students filling area dorms and apartments each fall, really helps Normandy maintain a good 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 percentage of people in Normandy who are college-educated is somewhat higher than the average US community of 21.84%: 25.43% of adults in Normandy 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.
Normandy is a very ethnically-diverse city. The people who call Normandy home describe themselves as belonging to a variety of racial and ethnic groups. The greatest number of Normandy residents report their race to be Black or African-American, followed by White. Important ancestries of people in Normandy include German, Irish, English, Italian, and Other Subsaharan African.
The most common language spoken in Normandy is English. Other important languages spoken here include Polish and Korean.
