What it’s like
The place. Green Ridge is a very small city in Pettis County, Missouri, where nearly all homes are lived in by their owners. Household incomes run a little above the county's, and a good number of residents live below the poverty line. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month, and summers turn hot by July.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, shops and the building trades also employing many. Across Pettis County, some of the largest workplaces are Tyson Poultry, Sedalia Schools and Bothwell Regional Health Center. The commute is a fairly short drive for most, and almost no one works from home.
Things to do. Rock Island Trail State Park, a protected area, is a short drive away, and so are streams such as Basin Fork and Crooked Creek. For a longer outing, Harry S. Truman Reservoir is a longer drive away.
