What it’s like
The place. Glenham is a very small town in Walworth County, South Dakota, and most of its residents are older than is typical across the country. Winters here are colder and snowier than in most of the country, while summers are warm and the town gets a fair amount of rain through the year. The town is quiet, and people tend to know one another.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, or in other services. Others work in restaurants, hotels and entertainment, or in shops. Most of the town's working life centers on these everyday jobs.
Things to do. Molstad Village, an archaeological site, is a short drive away and is a good place to learn about people who lived in the area long ago. The Moreau River and the Selby Opera House are both a longer drive away, the river for a quiet outing and the theatre for an evening performance.

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