What it’s like

The place. Campbell is a small city in Dunklin County, in the Missouri Bootheel, where most homes are lived in by their owners and typical home values are well below what many older homeowners elsewhere would expect. Poverty is more common here than across much of the country, and few adults hold a four-year degree. Winters are cold but short, with January the coldest month, while July summers run hot, and rain and melted snow add up to a fair amount over the year.

Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with others in manufacturing, shops, and restaurants and hotels. Across Dunklin County, the largest workplaces include Walmart, the Kennett school district and National Health Care, a skilled nursing facility. Unemployment across the county is unchanged from a year ago, and there were slightly fewer jobs in the county last year than the year before. A typical commute takes a fairly modest stretch of the day, and no one in town reports working from home.

Things to do. Morris State Park, a protected area, is a short drive away, as is Chalk Bluff, an archaeological site. A longer drive brings you to Cane Creek, a river, and to Hydro Adventures, an amusement park.
