What it’s like
The place. Auxier is a very small community in Floyd County, in the hills of eastern Kentucky. Poverty is rarer here than the county's income levels might suggest, and homes cost well under what is typical across much of the country. Winters are cold, with the coldest weather in January, and summers are warm, with July the warmest month. Rain and melted snow add up to a fair amount over the year.
Work. Residents most often work in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, in restaurants and hotels, and in government. Across Floyd County, the largest workplaces include Floyd County Schools, Highlands Regional Medical Center and Big Sandy Community and Technical College. Unemployment across the county has eased a little over the past year, though the number of jobs has slipped slightly. The typical trip to work is fairly short, and nobody in town works from home.
Things to do. Dewey Lake, a reservoir, and the Coal Miners' Museum are both in or beside town. A short drive away are Paintsville Lake State Park, a protected area, and Mountain Homeplace, a museum. Paint Creek and Beaver Creek are also close by for anyone who likes to be near moving water.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Auxier’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively high. 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 Floyd County.
