What it’s like
The place. Granby is a small city in Newton County, in the southwest corner of Missouri. Most homes are lived in by their owners, and typical home values are modest. Fewer adults hold a four-year degree than in many parts of the country, and daily life tends to follow the rhythms of a small town where people know one another.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, in manufacturing, and in transport, warehouses and utilities. Across Newton County, large workplaces include Freeman OAK Hill Health System, Joplin Schools and La-Z-Boy. Unemployment across the county is lower than it was a year earlier, and the county has gained jobs over the past year. Most people commute a moderate distance, and only a few work from home.
Things to do. George Washington Carver National Monument, a protected area, is a short drive away, as is Neosho National Fish Hatchery, a park. Cedar Creek, a river, is also a short drive away, and Spring River is a longer drive. Winters are cold, with some snow, summers are hot, and there is plenty of rain through the year.

Staff on average in 2025, as each workplace reported it to OSHA with its injury records: 67 workplaces with 20 or more staff, 12,500 people in all across the county; Granby has none of its own. Hospitals come from their Medicare cost reports (CMS, 2023), school districts from the Common Core of Data (NCES, 2023–24) and colleges from IPEDS (NCES, 2023–24); FTE marks full-time equivalent staff. Not listed: many offices and banks, which need not report to OSHA; military bases, whose staff OPM withholds; and, in about half the states, city and county governments.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Granby’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 Newton County and the Joplin, MO metro.
