What it’s like
The place. New Haven is a small city in Franklin County, Missouri, where most homes are lived in by their owners and incomes run a little below the county's. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month, and summers turn warm by July. Snow falls in a modest amount through the winter, and rain and melted snow together come to a fair amount over the year.
Work. Residents work in manufacturing, in schools, hospitals and social care, in banks, insurance and property, and in the building trades. Among the largest workplaces in town are New Haven Care Center, the New Haven school district and the Pepsi Cola Bottling Company of New Haven. Jobs across Franklin County grew slightly last year, and a typical commute is a short one.
Things to do. Bucklick Creek runs in or beside town, and several more creeks, among them Boeuf Creek and Smith Creek, are a short drive away. For a longer outing, Meramec Caverns and The Boss, both tourist attractions, are 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 Haven’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively high. 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 Franklin County and the St. Louis, MO-IL metro.
