What it’s like
The place. Savannah is a small Missouri city and the seat of Andrew County. Incomes here run below the county's as a whole, and most homes are lived in by their owners. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month, and summers are warm; the year brings a fair amount of rain and melted snow.
Work. Residents work mostly in manufacturing, in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, and in government. Among the largest workplaces in Savannah are Savannah R-III Schools, Laverna Manor Health and Rehabilitation, and United Electric Cooperative-Savannah. Commutes are fairly short, and a small number of people work from home.
Things to do. Pedlar Creek and Dillon Creek are both rivers a short drive away. For a longer drive, the Pony Express Museum and the Glore Psychiatric Museum are among the museums within reach, and the One Hundred and Two River is the best known of the nearby waterways.

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