What it’s like
The place. Bloomfield is a small city and the seat of Stoddard County, in the southeast corner of Missouri. Most homes here are lived in by their owners, and typical home values are modest. Household incomes run well below the county's, and a good share of residents live below the poverty line. Few adults hold a four-year degree.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with many others in manufacturing, transport and warehousing, and the building trades. Across Stoddard County, some of the largest workplaces are W.W. Wood Products, a kitchen cabinet maker, Walmart, and Dexter R-XI Schools. Unemployment in the county has eased a little over the past year, and the county has added jobs.
Things to do. Outdoor country lies within a longer drive. Mingo National Wildlife Refuge is a protected area for wildlife, and Lake Wappapello is a large reservoir with Lake Wappapello State Park along its shores. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month, and summers are hot, with July the warmest.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Bloomfield’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively high. It is meant for planning, not a substitute for a local risk assessment or a flood map: FEMA’s index.
From the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2020 census and its American Community Survey (2020–2024 five-year estimates), and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. A survey, so each figure has a margin of error, and figures it is not sure of are left out. More on Stoddard County.
