What it’s like
The place. Bevier is a very small city in Macon County, Missouri, where neighbors are likely to know one another. Typical home values are modest, and fewer adults hold a four-year degree than in most of the country. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month, and summers turn hot by July. Rain and melted snow fall steadily through the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, shops, and transport, warehouses and utilities also employing many. Across Macon County, some of the largest workplaces are Conagra Brands, a frozen specialty food manufacturer, Samaritan Memorial Hospital, a critical access hospital, and Macon CO. R-I Schools, a school district. The county has lost a small share of its jobs over the past year, and unemployment there is a little lower than it was a year earlier.
Things to do. Long Branch State Park, a protected area, lies in or beside town, so open space and water are close at hand. A longer drive away are Thousand Hills State Park, another protected area, and the Walt Disney Hometown Museum, which suits an afternoon outing. Bear Creek, a river, is also a longer drive away for those who like time near running water.

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