What it’s like
The place. Jetmore is a small city and the seat of Hodgeman County, where most homes are lived in by their owners. Household incomes run below the county's, and a typical home costs well under what many older homeowners elsewhere would expect to pay. Winters are cold and snowy, with January days that stay close to freezing at best, and summers turn hot in July.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, while others work in farming, government and the building trades. Across Hodgeman County, among the largest workplaces are Hodgeman County Health Center, a critical access hospital, and Hodgeman County Schools. Getting to work is quick, and few people work from home.
Things to do. For a day out, Fort Dodge is a historic fort, and Boot Hill Museum is a museum, both a longer drive away. The Long Branch Variety Show is a theatre, also a longer drive away, so each is a trip worth planning rather than an errand.

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