What it’s like
The place. Calhoun is a very small city in Henry County, Missouri, with a population among the smallest of any town of its kind. A typical home here is worth well above what the town's modest size might suggest. Household incomes across Henry County run below the state's level, and a good share of residents live below the poverty line. Few adults hold a four-year degree.
Work. Residents mostly work in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, in the building trades and in manufacturing. Across Henry County, the largest workplaces include Golden Valley Memorial Hospital, Walmart and Clinton Schools. Unemployment in the county has eased a little over the past year, and the county has added jobs. The typical commute is a long one, and very few people work from home.
Things to do. Sand Creek runs in or beside town, and Elm Branch, Duck Creek and Barker Creek are each a short drive away. Rock Island Trail State Park, a protected area, is also a short drive off. For something bigger, Harry S. Truman Reservoir is a longer drive away. Winters are cold, with the coldest weather in January, and summers are warm, hottest in July, with a fair amount of rain and melted snow through the year.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Calhoun’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively moderate. 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 Henry County.
