What it’s like
The place. Jamesport is a very small city, home to far fewer people than most towns, and its residents are about the age of the typical American. Most homes here are lived in by their owners, and a typical home costs less than the national average. Fewer adults hold a four-year degree than in most of the country, and most people drive a fair way to get to work. Winters are cold and snowy, summers are warm, and rain and melted snow arrive in moderate amounts through the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by shops, manufacturing and the building trades. Across Daviess County, the largest workplaces include several school districts, among them Gallatin R-V Schools and Pattonsburg R-II Schools, as well as Trexcon, which runs convenience food and gasoline stations. Unemployment in the county is a little lower than it was a year ago, though the county has fewer jobs than it did the year before.
Things to do. The countryside around Jamesport is laced with creeks. Clear Creek and Honey Creek are rivers a short drive away, good for a quiet walk along the water. Crowder State Park, a protected area, is a longer drive away and suits a day trip.
