General election race ratings
- See also: Race rating definitions and methods
Ballotpedia provides race ratings from four outlets: The Cook Political Report, Inside Elections, Sabato's Crystal Ball, and DDHQ/The Hill. Each race rating indicates if one party is perceived to have an advantage in the race and, if so, the degree of advantage:
- Safe and Solid ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge and the race is not competitive.
- Likely ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge, but an upset is possible.
- Lean ratings indicate that one party has a small edge, but the race is competitive.[1]
- Toss-up ratings indicate that neither party has an advantage.
Race ratings are informed by a number of factors, including polling, candidate quality, and election result history in the race's district or state.[2][3][4]

Post-filing deadline analysis
The following analysis covers all U.S. House districts up for election in Missouri in 2024. Information below was calculated on June 4, 2024, and may differ from information shown in the table above due to candidate replacements and withdrawals after that time.
Forty-three candidates ran for Missouri’s eight U.S. House districts, including 16 Democrats and 27 Republicans. That's an average of 5.38 candidates per district. That’s lower than the 7.13 candidates per district in 2022 but more than the 5.00 in 2020.
The 3rd Congressional District was the only open district. That’s one less than in 2022 when two seats were open. There were no open seats in 2020, 2018, 2016, and 2014.
Incumbent Rep. Blaine Luetkemeyer (R-03) did not run for re-election because he retired from public office.
Two congressional districts—the 1st and the 3rd—were tied for the most candidates running in a district in 2024. Four Democrats and five Republicans ran in the 1st Congressional District, and two Democrats and seven Republicans ran in the 3rd Congressional District.
Twelve primaries—six Democratic and six Republican—were contested in 2024. Between 2022 and 2014, there was an average of 11.6 contested primaries per year.
Five incumbents—one Democrat and four Republicans—were in contested primaries tin 2024, tying with 2018 and 2014 for the fewest this decade.
