What it’s like
The place. Bland is a very small city in Gasconade County, Missouri, with only a handful of streets' worth of neighbors who are likely to know one another. Homes here are priced above what the county's household incomes would suggest, and few adults hold a four-year degree. Winters are cold, with some snow, and summers are hot, with a fair amount of rain and melted snow through the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in manufacturing, in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, and in the building trades. Across Gasconade County, the largest workplaces include the Gasconade CO. R-II Schools, Walmart and Hermann Area District Hospital. Unemployment across the county is a little lower than a year ago, though the county has fewer jobs than it did the year before, and the typical commute is a modest one with hardly anyone working from home.
Things to do. The countryside around Bland is good for time near water, and Cedar Branch, Crider Creek and Peavine Creek are all streams a short drive away. For a longer outing, Onondaga Cave State Park is a protected area a longer drive away, and Meramec Caverns is a well-known tourist attraction, also 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 Bland’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 Gasconade County and the Jefferson City, MO metro.
