What it’s like
The place. Moberly is a small city in Randolph County, Missouri, with a median age close to the middle of the country's range. Incomes here run below the county's, and more people live below the poverty line than many would expect in a town of this size. Most homes are lived in by their owners, and typical home values are modest. Few adults hold a four-year degree.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by shops, manufacturing, and transport, warehouses and utilities. The largest workplaces in Moberly include Moberly Area Community College, Orscheln Products, which makes brake parts, and Moberly Regional Medical Center. The typical commute is short, and few people work from home. Unemployment across Randolph County is a little higher than a year ago, while the number of jobs there has edged up.
Things to do. For time outdoors, Coy Branch and Galbreath Creek are both streams a short drive away. Union Covered Bridge State Historic Site, a protected historic area, is a longer drive away. Winters are cold, with some snow, and summers are warm, with a fair amount of rain through the year.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Moberly’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively moderate.

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 Randolph County and the Moberly, MO metro.
