What it’s like
The place. Cedar Hill is a small community in Jefferson County, Missouri, where almost every home is lived in by its owner. Household incomes run well below the county's, and few adults hold a four-year degree. Winters are cold, with some snow, and summers are hot, with a fair amount of rain through the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, shops and the building trades also employing many. Across Jefferson County, the largest workplaces include FOX C Schools, Mercy Hospital Jefferson and Northwest R-I Schools. The typical commute is a fairly long one, and the county's job market has held steady, with unemployment close to where it was a year earlier.
Things to do. Skullbones Creek and Belews Creek, both small waterways, run in or beside town. A longer drive brings you to the Meramec River, a favorite for time on the water, and to the Saint Louis Zoo, which is a longer drive away. The Missouri Botanical Garden, also a longer drive away, is one of the best known gardens in the region.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Cedar Hill’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 Jefferson County and the St. Louis, MO-IL metro.
