What it’s like
The place. Clarksburg is a very small city in Moniteau County, Missouri, where everyone is likely to know one another. Homes are valued below what many people would expect to pay in larger towns, and the county's household incomes sit in a middle range for rural Missouri. Winters are cold, with some snow, and summers turn quite hot, with a fair amount of rain and melted snow through the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with others in manufacturing, the building trades and shops. Across Moniteau County, the largest workplaces include Cargill, Martin Energy Group Services and Moniteau CO. R-I Schools. The typical commute is a fairly long one, and very few people work from home. Unemployment across the county is low and a little lower than a year ago, though the county has fewer jobs than the year before.
Things to do. Dry Fork, a river in or beside town, is the closest water to explore. Willow Fork is a river a short drive away, good for a quiet afternoon outdoors. A longer drive brings you to Big Muddy National Fish and Wildlife Refuge, a protected area, or to Faurot Field, a stadium, for a day out.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Clarksburg’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 Moniteau County and the Jefferson City, MO metro.
