What it’s like
The place. Marshfield is a small city in Webster County, Missouri, and most homes here are lived in by their owners. Household incomes run a little below the county's, and a good share of residents live below the poverty line. Fewer adults hold a four-year degree than you might find in larger cities, and the typical commute is a short one. Winters are cold, with only a little snow, and summers are warm, with plenty of rain through the year.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, in transport and warehouses, or in manufacturing. Among the largest workplaces in Marshfield are Walmart, the Marshfield R-I Schools and Tyler Couplings. Unemployment in Webster County is lower than it was a year ago, and the county has added a few jobs over the past year.
Things to do. Several creeks and rivers lie a short drive away, including Dry Creek, Bracken Creek and Osage Fork Gasconade River, which suit anyone who likes to be near water. A longer drive brings you to Bennett Spring State Park, a protected area, and to Fantastic Caverns, a well-known tourist attraction. The Wonders of Wildlife Museum & Aquarium, a zoo, is also 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 Marshfield’s 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 Webster County and the Springfield, MO metro.
