What it’s like
The place. Meadville is a very small city in Linn County, Missouri, with a population that makes it a place where neighbors tend to know one another. Household incomes run above the county's, and very few residents live below the poverty line. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month and freezing nights, and summers are warm, with July the warmest; rain and melted snow fall steadily through the year.
Work. Residents most often work in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by transport, warehouses and utilities, shops, and the building trades. Unemployment across Linn County is lower than it was a year ago, and the number of jobs there has barely changed. Among the largest workplaces across the county are Walsworth Publishing, Walmart and Moore Fans. The typical commute is a long one, and very few people work from home.
Things to do. Pershing State Park is a protected area a short drive away, and the Gen. John J. Pershing Boyhood Home State Historic Site is another protected area close by. Swan Lake National Wildlife Refuge, a protected area, and the Walt Disney Hometown Museum are 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 Meadville’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 Linn County.
