What it’s like
The place. Riverview is a small village in St. Louis County, home to a small community of residents, so it is a quiet place by the standards of the region. Homes here cost far less than the typical home elsewhere in the metro area, and a larger share of residents live below the poverty line than is usual across the country. Winters are cold, with January the chilliest month, and summers are hot, with July the warmest; precipitation is spread through the year as rain and melted snow.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by professional and business services, banks, insurance and property, and shops. Few adults hold a four-year degree, and only a small share work from home. Across St. Louis County, some of the largest workplaces are Washington University in St Louis, The Boeing Company and Mercy Hospital - St. Louis, though the county has lost a few jobs over the past year and unemployment there is a little lower than it was a year ago.
Things to do. Several well-known sights are a short drive away, including Gateway Arch National Park, the Missouri Botanical Garden and the Saint Louis Zoo. For a longer outing, Cahokia, an archaeological site, is 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 Riverview’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.
