What it’s like
The place. Winfield is a small Iowa city in Henry County, and most homes here are lived in by their owners. Household incomes run below the county's, and typical home values are modest. Winters are cold, with snow through the season, and summers turn warm, with a fair amount of rain and melted snow across the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, shops and the building trades close behind. Across Henry County, the largest workplaces include Hearth n Home Technologies, which makes fireplace inserts, and the Mount Pleasant Comm School District. Few people work from home, and the usual commute is a fairly long one.
Things to do. Several rivers lie within a longer drive, among them the Iowa River and the Cedar River, and both are places to spend time by the water. Geode State Park is a protected area a longer drive away, and Port Louisa National Wildlife Refuge is another for those who like open country and wildlife.

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