What it’s like
The place. Trimble is a very small city in Clinton County, Missouri, the kind of place where residents are likely to know one another. Household incomes run below the county's, and homes here are worth a good deal more than incomes alone might suggest. Few adults hold a four-year degree. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month, summers turn warm by July, and the year brings a fair amount of rain and melted snow.
Work. Most residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, with shops, manufacturing, and banks, insurance and property also employing many. Across Clinton County, the biggest workplaces include Cameron R-I Schools, Black & Veatch and Lathrop R-II Schools. The typical commute is a long one, and a good number of people work from home. Unemployment in the county is a little lower than a year ago, and the county has added jobs over the past year.
Things to do. Smithville Lake, a reservoir, is a short drive away and the closest of the nearby places to get out on the water. A longer drive brings you to The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, one of the best known museums in the region, and to Arrowhead Stadium, a stadium for big football days.

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