What it’s like
The place. Pagedale is a small city in St. Louis County, with a population that is modest even by the standards of the county's smaller towns. Incomes here are well below the county's, and fewer homes are lived in by their owners than is typical across the county. Homes cost less than in most of the region, and few adults hold a four-year degree. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month, and summers turn hot by July, with a fair amount of rain and melted snow through the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with many others in professional and business services, in banks, insurance and property, and in shops. The workplaces based in Pagedale itself include Hartman Walsh Industrial Services, a painting and wallpapering firm, Neff Press, a machine shop, and Solutions, a used auto parts wholesaler. Most people commute out of town to work, and few work from home.
Things to do. Some of the area's best known places are only a short drive away. Gateway Arch National Park sits on the riverfront, the Saint Louis Zoo and Forest Park are close by, and the Missouri Botanical Garden is a short drive too. The Saint Louis Art Museum lies in or beside town, which makes an afternoon among the galleries an easy outing.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Pagedale’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.
