What it’s like
The place. Greenfield is a small city in Dade County, Missouri, where most people live in homes they own. Incomes here run well below the county's, and a larger share of residents live in poverty than most people would expect. Fewer adults hold a four-year degree than in many places, and typical home values are modest. Winters are cold, with some snow, and summers turn hot, with plenty of rain and melted snow through the year.
Work. Residents work mainly in shops, manufacturing, schools, hospitals and social care, and the building trades. Among the largest workplaces across Dade County are Central Garden & Pet, Prairie Mountain, and Good Shepherd Community Care & Rehabilitation. Unemployment in the county is about where it stood a year ago, and the county has added a few more jobs. Commutes are fairly long, and very few people work from home.
Things to do. The Greenfield Opera House, a theatre in or beside town, is the best known place nearby. Limestone Creek, a river in or beside town, is close at hand, and Honey Creek, another river, is a short drive away. For a longer outing, Fantastic Caverns, a tourist attraction, is a longer drive away.

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