What it’s like
The place. Bucyrus is a small community in Texas County, in the Ozarks region of south-central Missouri, where hills and rivers shape the landscape. Most homes are lived in by their owners, and many residents have lived in the area for years. Neighbors tend to know one another, and the county's population is spread across farms, woodland and small towns.
Work. Across Texas County, many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, or in manufacturing, retail and the building trades. Incomes run below the county's average for many households, and a larger share of residents live below the poverty line than in most of the country. Fewer adults hold a degree than across most of the country, and few people work from home, so most commute to a workplace, usually by a fairly short drive. Last year the number of jobs dipped slightly, while unemployment has eased compared with a year earlier.
Things to do. Montauk State Park is a protected area a longer drive away, and Paddy Creek Wilderness is another protected area a short drive away. For time on the water, Arthur Creek, a river a short drive away, is an easy outing. Winters are cold with light snowfall, and summers are hot, so spring and autumn are the most comfortable seasons for being outdoors.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms across Texas County, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively low. 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 Texas County.
