What it’s like
The place. New Bloomfield is a small city in Callaway County, Missouri, and one of the smaller places in the county. Its residents are older than in most of the country, and the typical home here is worth more than many people expect for a town this size. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month, and summers turn hot by July, with a good deal of rain and melted snow through the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with shops, government and manufacturing close behind. Some of the larger workplaces across Callaway County are William Woods University, Fulton 58 Schools and Walmart. Getting to work usually takes a fairly modest drive, and a small share of people work from home.
Things to do. Cedar Creek and Dry Fork are both rivers a short drive away, suited to a quiet afternoon outdoors. A longer drive brings you to Rock Bridge Memorial State Park, a protected area for walking and being outside, and to the National Churchill Museum, which is worth a day trip. Faurot Field, the stadium, 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 New Bloomfield’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 Callaway County and the Jefferson City, MO metro.
