The middle half (25th to 75th percentile) and the median of arm's-length single-parcel land sales. Each size uses its own months (the shortest of 12, 24 or 36 that holds enough sales), so the sizes' counts need not add up to another figure on this page. Source: the county's own recorded sales, arm's-length by the county's own flag. Recorded sales, not an estimate of any parcel.
Recorded flood claims in Jefferson City
FEMA counts claims on buildings with NFIP flood insurance, so land without an insured building never shows here. Claims counted from 1978 to Sep 2026.
