Substantially above the statewide average

Kirkwood's average home value ran $446,811 per Zillow this pass -- well above Missouri's own $268,423 statewide figure and above the typical St. Louis-metro suburban range.

Continued, real appreciation

Zillow's cited 3.4% year-over-year increase reflects genuine, continued demand for Kirkwood's top-tier schools and historic character.

A real, modest population decline alongside rising values

Kirkwood's population is declining modestly (-0.12%/year) even as home values rise -- consistent with a genuinely mature, largely built-out suburb rather than new-construction growth.
