What it’s like
The place. Overland is a city in St. Louis County, home to a younger population than many American towns. Household incomes run below the county's, and more people here rent than across the county, though most homes are still lived in by their owners. A four-year degree is held by a minority of adults, and most people have a fairly short drive to work.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, professional and business services, and retail close behind. Among the largest workplaces in Overland are Ritenour Schools, the Veterans Benefits Administration and Pretium Packaging. Unemployment across St. Louis County is a little lower than a year ago, though the county has fewer jobs than it did the year before.
Things to do. A short drive away are the Saint Louis Zoo and Forest Park, a large city park with gardens, and the Missouri Botanical Garden is also close by. For a longer outing, Gateway Arch National Park sits by the river downtown. Winters are cold with some snow, and summers get hot, so the gardens and park are best suited to the milder seasons.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Overland’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 St. Louis County and the St. Louis, MO-IL metro.
