What it’s like
The place. Creighton is a very small city in Cass County, Missouri, with fewer people than almost any town of its kind. Homes here cost less than the typical home across much of the country, and a larger share of residents live below the poverty line than is usual. Few adults hold a four-year degree, and winters are cold and summers hot, with some snow each year and a fair amount of rain.
Work. People who live in Creighton work mainly in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, in manufacturing, and in professional and business services. Most commutes are fairly long, and very few residents work from home. Across Cass County, the largest workplaces include the Raymore-Peculiar R-II Schools, Belton Schools and a Walmart warehouse and supercenter operation.
Things to do. Water is the main draw nearby. Black Oak Creek runs in or beside town, and Lost Creek, Elk Fork and Bogard Creek are each a short drive away. Fishing Creek is a longer drive, for those who want to go farther afield.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Creighton’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 Cass County and the Kansas City, MO-KS metro.
