What it’s like
The place. Dixon is a small city in Maries County, Missouri, with a younger population than many rural towns. Winters are cold, with only a modest amount of snow, and summers turn hot. Rain and melted snow fall steadily across the year, and the area has a good many small creeks running through it.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, in the building trades, in manufacturing and in shops. Across Maries County, some of the biggest employers are Diamond Pet Foods in Meta, the Quaker Window Co. facilities and the Maries County R-II Schools. Most people travel a fair way to work, and very few work from home. Incomes in the county run a little below the state's typical level, and unemployment there has eased over the past year.
Things to do. The nearest outdoor spots are creeks a short drive away, including Bell Creek, Duncan Creek and Little Piney Creek. They suit anyone who likes a quiet stretch of water and the woods and fields around it. Dry Creek lies a longer drive away for those who want to go further afield.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Dixon’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 Maries County and the Fort Leonard Wood, MO metro.
