Aurora is a somewhat small city located in the state of Missouri. With a population of 7,412 people and three associated neighborhoods, Aurora is the 107th largest community in Missouri.

One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 7.60% of the workforce. While this number may seem small overall, as a fraction of the total workforce this is high compared to the rest of the county. These workers are often telecommuters who work in knowledge-based, white-collar professions. For example, Silicon Valley has large numbers of people who telecommute. Other at-home workers may be self-employed people who operate small businesses out of their homes.

The city is relatively quiet, having a combination of lower population density and few of those groups of people who have a tendency to be noisy. For example, Aurora has relatively fewer families with younger children, and/or college students. Combined, this makes Aurora a pretty quiet place to live overall. If you like quiet, you will probably enjoy it here.

As is often the case in a small city, Aurora doesn't have a public transportation system that people use for their commute.

The percentage of people in Aurora with college degrees is quite a bit lower than the national average for cities and towns of 21.84%: just 12.82% of people over 25 have a bachelor's degree or advanced degree.

The per capita income in Aurora in 2022 was $24,415, which is lower middle income relative to Missouri, and low income relative to the rest of the US. This equates to an annual income of $97,660 for a family of four. However, Aurora contains both very wealthy and poor people as well.
