What it’s like
The place. Bucyrus is a very small community in Miami County, Kansas, with far fewer residents than most towns and the quiet that comes with that. Homes here are valued well above what is typical for the area, and household incomes across Miami County run comfortably high. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month, summers are hot, and the year brings a fair amount of rain and melted snow.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, in professional and business services, and in the building trades. A good many people here work from home, more than in most places. Across Miami County, the largest workplaces include Paola Schools, Osawatomie State Hospital and Walmart, and the county has added jobs over the past year, though unemployment is a little higher than it was a year ago.
Things to do. For time outdoors, the Blue River is a short drive away, as is the Overland Park Arboretum and Botanical Gardens. For a bigger outing, Arrowhead Stadium and The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art are among the best known places in the region, 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 Bucyrus’ 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 Miami County and the Kansas City, MO-KS metro.
