What it’s like
The place. Blue Eye is a very small town in Stone County, Missouri, with a population among the smallest of any town its kind. Residents are older than in most places, and few adults have a four-year degree. Homes here are valued well above what the county's incomes would suggest, and winters are cold while summers run hot, with a good deal of rain and melted snow through the year.
Work. People who live in Blue Eye work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by restaurants, hotels and entertainment, shops, and professional and business services. Across Stone County, the largest workplaces include Silver Dollar City, Reeds Spring R-IV Schools and Walmart. Unemployment in the county has eased a little over the past year, and the number of jobs has grown slightly.
Things to do. Table Rock Lake, a reservoir, and Table Rock State Park are both a short drive away, as is Cosmic Cavern, a cave that draws visitors. Farther off, a longer drive takes you to Silver Dollar City, an amusement park, and to the James River.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Blue Eye’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 Stone County.
