What it’s like
The place. Mansfield is a small city in the Ozarks of Wright County, Missouri, and a young one by the numbers: residents are noticeably younger on average than in most American towns. Homes here cost less than in much of the country, though incomes in the county run below the national picture. Winters are cold, with a modest amount of snow, and summers turn properly hot; rain and melted snow add up to a fair amount over the year.
Work. Residents of Mansfield work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing and transport, warehouses and utilities also common, and fewer adults hold a four-year degree than in many places. Across Wright County, the largest workplaces include Hutchens Industries, a truck trailer manufacturer, along with Walmart and the Mansfield R-IV Schools. The typical commute is a fairly long one, and unemployment in the county has eased compared with a year earlier.
Things to do. The nearest outdoor spots are creeks. Finley Creek and Bill Macks Creek are both a short drive away. For a longer day out, the Gasconade River and the Big Piney River are each a longer drive away, and both are rivers of the Ozarks.

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