What it’s like
The place. Frohna is a very small city in Perry County, Missouri, with far fewer people than most towns, and the homes there are valued well above what is typical for many parts of the country. Very few residents live below the poverty line, and fewer adults hold a four-year degree than in much of the country. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month and a little snow, and summers are hot, with July the warmest; rain and melted snow add up to a fairly wet year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by manufacturing, shops, and transport, warehouses and utilities. Across Perry County, some of the largest workplaces are T G Missouri Corporation - Perryville, which makes interior and exterior automotive parts, and Perry County Memorial Hospital. Unemployment in the county is a little lower than a year ago, jobs have grown slightly, and the typical commute is a modest one.
Things to do. Several creeks lie a short drive away, including Flatrock Creek and Buckeye Creek, which suit anyone who likes a quiet walk along the water. For more room to roam, Trail of Tears State Park is a protected area a longer drive away, and the Kaskaskia River is a longer drive as well.

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