What it’s like
The place. Harrisonville is a small city and the county seat of Cass County, Missouri, on the southern edge of the Kansas City area. Its residents are younger than in many small towns, and most homes are lived in by their owners. Incomes are well below the county's, and fewer adults hold a four-year degree than in many places. Winters are cold with some snow, summers are hot, and rain falls through the year.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, in transport and warehouses, and in manufacturing. Among the largest workplaces in Harrisonville are Walmart, Cass Regional Medical Center and Harrisonville R-IX Schools. The typical commute is a fairly long one, and few people work from home. Across Cass County, unemployment is a little lower than a year ago and the number of jobs has grown.
Things to do. Muddy Creek and Polecat Creek run in or beside town, and Wolf Creek is a short drive away. Farther afield, a longer drive brings you to the Harry S. Truman National Historic Site, a protected area, and to the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City. Arrowhead Stadium, also a longer drive away, is the place to catch a game.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Harrisonville’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively low. 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 Cass County and the Kansas City, MO-KS metro.
