Webb City is a somewhat small city located in the state of Missouri. With a population of 13,165 people and two associated neighborhoods, Webb City is the 57th largest community in Missouri. Webb City has seen a significant amount of newer housing growth in recent years.

One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 7.90% of the workforce. While this number may seem small overall, as a fraction of the total workforce this is high compared to the rest of the county.

Other at-home workers may be self-employed people who operate small businesses out of their homes.
