What it’s like
The place. Moorefield is a small town in Fleming County, Kentucky. Across the county, most homes are lived in by their owners, and a notable share of residents live below the poverty line, so household incomes are often modest. Many people here know one another, and the town sits in a region where farming and small-town life have long shaped the pace of things.
Work. Across Fleming County, most residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, manufacturing, shops, or the building trades. Unemployment has eased over the past year, though the number of jobs has dipped slightly. Few residents work from home, so most people commute to work by car.
Things to do. Sap Branch, a river, is a short drive away and suits a quiet afternoon outdoors. Lake Carnico, also a short drive off, is a lake that many locals visit for fishing and time on the water. For history, the Daniel Boone Cabin, a museum, is a longer drive away.

Natural hazards
- Strong windRelatively moderate
FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms across Fleming County, against the rest of the country; all of them together, very 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 Fleming County.
