Christian County is nestled between the bustle of Springfield, and the entertainment of Branson. While centrally located between large cities, Christian County has maintained a quaint charm and is home to both natural and architectural beauty. The population has grown to 89,131, with the average age being 37. The economy of Christian County is still steeped in the industries Southern Missouri is known for: family run dairies, crop farmers, forestry and wood working. However, modernization has led to a rise in the production of plastics, electric motors, and apparel. Over the recent months roughly 1,136 homes have been sold with an average sold price of $148,904. That is a decrease of $79,665 from the previous period.
