The Census counted 27 establishments with employees in 2023 in ZIP code 62082, which includes Roodhouse and its surroundings.

Greene County as a whole had 215 employer establishments in 2023 and another 729 nonemployer businesses, the one-person shops and independent contractors that often have no website at all. 20 trucking companies operate in Greene County, about five times what the national mix would predict.
