Normandy is a place where college students are a big part of the character and culture of the town. Small towns have often struggled with declining populations over the past few decades, but the presence of such a large college student population has helped Normandy to fight this trend. Not only does the college population add spending and jobs to local economy, but it also contributes a very tangible, youthful energy to the town.
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.
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.
