What it’s like
The place. Deepwater is a very small city in Henry County, Missouri, where neighbors are likely to know one another and the surrounding land is open and rural. Homes here cost far less than in most of the country, and few adults hold a four-year degree. The county's household incomes are modest, and the town is the kind of place where day-to-day life moves at an unhurried pace.
Work. Residents work mainly in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, in the building trades and in manufacturing. Across Henry County, the larger workplaces include Golden Valley Memorial Hospital, Walmart and Clinton Schools. The county has added a few more jobs than it had a year earlier, and unemployment there is a little lower than it was at this time last year.
Things to do. Cooper Creek runs in or beside town, and several other creeks, among them Deepwater Creek and Dillion Creek, are a short drive away. Harry S. Truman Reservoir, a large reservoir, is a longer drive away and suits a day out on the water. Winters here are cold, with some snow, and summers get hot, so spring and autumn are comfortable seasons for time outdoors.

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