What it’s like
The place. Duenweg is a small city in Jasper County, in the southwest corner of Missouri. Most homes are lived in by their owners, and household incomes run a little above the county's, though a fair number of residents live below the poverty line. Few adults hold a four-year degree, and typical rents are on the high side for a town this size.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, in restaurants, hotels and entertainment, in shops, and in manufacturing. Across Jasper County, some of the largest workplaces are Carthage R-IX Schools, Schreiber Foods Fairview Plant and Contract Freighters, Inc Joplin Headquarter. Jobs across the county slipped last year, though unemployment is lower than a year ago, and the typical commute is short.
Things to do. George Washington Carver National Monument, a protected area honoring the scientist's boyhood home, is a short drive away. Route 66 Park, also a short drive off, recalls the old highway, and Battle of Carthage State Historic Site, a short drive away, marks a Civil War battlefield. Fred G. Hughes Stadium is in or beside town. Winters are cold and summers hot, with a fair amount of rain and melted snow through the year.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Duenweg’s 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 Jasper County and the Joplin, MO metro.
