Auxvasse has been claimed by at least 3 Callaway County townships since they were first delineated in 1821, when Auxvasse was located at the far northeast corner of the original boundaries of the then far-larger Cote Sans Dessein township for a period of only a few months. New townships (Fulton, Round Prairie, Nine Mile Prairie) were formed 1821–1838 in northern Callaway County, and a study of historical references should clarify which township Auxvasse was claimed by during that period. In February 1838, the newly- formed Liberty Township included Auxvasse as a key town in its eastern sector for nearly 40 years; but when the newer Jackson Township was created in December 1875, Auxvasse was included instead in its western half, where it remains to this day as its largest population center.

As of the [[census]]<ref name="GR2" /> of 2000, there were 901 people, 381 households, and 240 families living in the city. The [[population density]] was {{convert|1,356.6 people per square mile (527.1|PD/km<sup>2<sqmi|PD/sup>)km2|sp=us|adj=off}}. There were 400 housing units at an average density of {{convert|602.3 per square mile (234.0|/km<sup>2<sqmi|/sup>)km2|sp=us|adj=off}}. The racial makeup of the city was 95.01% [[White (U.S. Census)|White]], 3.22% [[African American (U.S. Census)|African American]], 0.44% [[Native American (U.S. Census)|Native American]], 0.11% [[Asian (U.S. Census)|Asian]], 0.11% from [[Race (United States Census)|other races]], and 1.11% from two or more races. [[Hispanic (U.S. Census)|Hispanic]] or [[Latino (U.S. Census)|Latino]] of any race were 0.44% of the population.
