What it’s like
The place. Clinton is a small city and the seat of Henry County, Missouri. Residents are somewhat older than in the typical American community, and most homes are lived in by their owners. Incomes run below the county's, and a four-year degree is less common among adults here than in many places.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, with shops, manufacturing and other services also employing a good share. Golden Valley Memorial Hospital, Walmart and Clinton Schools are among the largest workplaces in town. Commutes are short, and few people work from home.
Things to do. Deer Creek runs in or beside town, and a number of other creeks, including Coal Creek and Fields Creek, are a short drive away. For a bigger stretch of water, Harry S. Truman Reservoir is a longer drive away. Winters are cold, with some snow, and summers are hot.

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