Vida is an unincorporated community in Phelps County, Missouri, United States. Vida is approximately six miles south of Rolla, near the junction of US Highway 63 and Missouri Route W.[1][2] Vida is located at an elevation of 1033 feet above sea level.[3] Vida can be found on Phelps County plat maps in Section 10, Township 36 N, Range 9 W.[4]

A post office called Vida was established in 1898, and remained in operation until 1977.[5] An early postmaster gave the community the name of a local girl in the neighborhood.[6]

Vida has not been included in past U.S. Census counts, so there is no population information for this community.[7] Vida does not have a dedicated U.S. post office location, and is instead served by the Newburg, Missouri post office.[8]
