What it’s like
The place. Orrick is a small city in Ray County, Missouri, with a small population. Most households own their homes, and incomes run a little below the county's. Few adults hold a four-year degree, and a small share of residents live below the poverty line. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month, and summers are hot, with July the warmest. Rain and melted snow add up to a fair amount over the year.
Work. Residents work mainly in manufacturing, shops, schools, hospitals and social care, and in transport, warehouses and utilities. Across Ray County, some of the largest workplaces are Henkel US Operations Corporation-Richmond, an adhesives manufacturer, Walmart, and the Richmond R-xvi Schools. The typical commute is a fairly long one, and only a small share of people work from home.
Things to do. The Fishing River runs in or beside town, and Bogart Creek and Rollins Creek are a short drive away. For a day out, the Kansas City Zoo and the Harry S. Truman Presidential Library and Museum are both a longer drive away, as is Arrowhead Stadium.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Orrick’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 Ray County and the Kansas City, MO-KS metro.
