What it’s like
The place. Clarksville is a very small river town in Pike County, Missouri, where nearly everyone owns the home they live in and poverty is uncommon. Typical home values sit well within reach compared with much of the country. Winters are cold, with highs that stay near freezing in January and a fair amount of snow, while July brings hot days. Rain and melted snow fall at a moderate, steady rate through the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, the building trades and retail also well represented. Across Pike County, some of the largest workplaces are Walmart, Bowling Green R-I Schools and Pike County Memorial Hospital. The drive to work tends to be a long one, and very few people work from home. Jobs across the county dipped last year, and unemployment there is somewhat lower than it was a year earlier.
Things to do. Calumet Creek runs in or beside town, and Mud Creek is a short drive away. The Clarence Cannon National Wildlife Refuge, a protected area, is also a short drive away and suits a quiet day outdoors. New Philadelphia National Historic Site, an archaeological site, is a longer drive away.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Clarksville’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 Pike County.
