What it’s like
The place. Lohman is a very small city in Cole County, Missouri, with a population among the smallest of any incorporated place in the state. Homes here are valued well above what the county's incomes would suggest, and winters are cold with some snow, while summers turn properly warm. Most people who live here have a short to moderate drive to work.
Work. Residents work mainly in schools, hospitals and social care, in government, in shops and in professional and business services. Across Cole County, large employers include Jefferson City Schools, Hitachi Energy USA in Jefferson City and SSM Health-St. Marys-Jefferson City. Unemployment across the county is a little lower than a year ago, and the number of jobs has edged up.
Things to do. Brush Creek and Burris Fork are streams a short drive away, good for a quiet walk along the water. Farther out, Jefferson Landing State Historic Site is a protected historic area, and Lake of the Ozarks is a large reservoir, both a longer drive away.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Lohman’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 Cole County and the Jefferson City, MO metro.
