What it’s like
The place. Brumley is a small town in Miller County, Missouri, where the population is very small and household incomes sit below the county's. Winters are cold and summers are hot, snow is light compared with the far north, and rain falls often enough to keep the countryside green. The town sits in the Ozark hills, where the rivers and creeks shape daily life as much as the roads do.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, in the building trades, and in manufacturing. Across Miller County, unemployment has eased a little over the past year, though the number of jobs dipped slightly in the most recent year. Work in a town this size often means knowing one another and helping out where needed.
Things to do. Lake of the Ozarks, a reservoir, lies a longer drive away and is one of the best known waterside destinations in the region. Ozark Caverns, a tourist attraction, is a short drive away, and Lake of the Ozarks State Park, a protected area, is also a short drive off.

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