What it’s like
The place. Amazonia is a very small village in Andrew County, Missouri, home to few people and set among farmland and creeks. Homes here are modestly priced, and few adults have a four-year degree. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month, and summers are hot, with July the warmest. Rain and melted snow add up to a fairly wet year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with others in manufacturing, shops and the building trades. Few people work from home. Across Andrew County, some of the largest workplaces are Savannah R-III Schools, HGI St Jo and Vertical, a nursing home. Unemployment in the county is a little lower than it was a year ago, and the county has added jobs over the past year.
Things to do. Dillon Creek runs in or beside town, a quiet spot for a walk along the water. A short drive away are the Glore Psychiatric Museum, the Pony Express Museum and the Missouri Theatre. For a longer outing, Loess Bluffs National Wildlife Refuge is a protected area a longer drive away.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Amazonia’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively low. 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 Andrew County and the St. Joseph, MO-KS metro.
