What it’s like
The place. Bogue is a very small city in Graham County, Kansas, where nearly everyone lives in a home they own. Homes here cost far less than the typical home across the country. Winters are cold and snowy, with January the coldest month, and summers turn hot by July, with a fair amount of rain and melted snow over the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with others in farming, forestry and mining, in shops, and in the building trades. Across Graham County, some of the largest workplaces are Graham County Hospital, Graham County Schools and Dawson Place. Incomes across the county are modest, and the county has recently seen fewer jobs than the year before, with unemployment a little higher than a year earlier.
Things to do. Nicodemus National Historic Site, a museum, is a short drive away. Farther afield, Webster State Park is a protected area, and the Bukovina Society Headquarters and Museum is another museum, each 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 Bogue’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 Graham County.
