What it’s like
The place. Jerico Springs is a very small village in Cedar County, Missouri, where neighbors are likely to know one another by name. Homes here are valued above what many might expect for a place this size. Few adults hold a four-year degree, and across Cedar County household incomes sit modestly, so the town is mostly a working community rather than a college one.
Work. Residents most often work in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by shops, manufacturing and the building trades. Across Cedar County, the largest workplaces include EL Dorado Springs R-II Schools, Dairy Farmers of America and Stockton R-I Schools. Unemployment in the county is a little lower than a year ago, and the county has added jobs over the past year. The typical commute is a fairly long one.
Things to do. The closest outdoor spot is Wilkey Creek, a river a short drive away. A longer drive leads to Stockton Lake, a reservoir, and Stockton State Park, a protected area beside it. Also a longer drive away is the Greenfield Opera House, a theatre for an evening out. Winters are cold with a little snow, summers are hot, and the year brings a good deal of rain.

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