What it’s like
The place. Jameson is a very small town in Daviess County, in the northwest part of Missouri. Most of its homes are lived in by people who have known one another for years, and its quiet streets reflect its size. The town sits in a rural county where farmland and small communities stretch out between towns.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, or in shops, manufacturing and the building trades. Household incomes in Jameson are lower than the county's as a whole. Across Daviess County, the number of jobs dipped slightly last year, while unemployment has eased compared with a year earlier.
Things to do. Big Creek and Honey Creek are both rivers a short drive from town, suited to a relaxed afternoon by the water. Crowder State Park, a protected area a longer drive away, offers a wider stretch of open land for walks and time outdoors. Winters are cold with real snowfall, and summers are hot, so spring and autumn are often the most pleasant seasons to visit.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Jameson’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively high.
