What it’s like
The place. Duquesne is a village in Jasper County, Missouri, small enough that most people know their neighbors by sight. Most homes are lived in by their owners, though renters make up a real part of the town. Most adults do not hold a four-year degree, and the typical drive to work is short.
Work. Residents work mainly in schools, hospitals and social care, in manufacturing, in shops and in restaurants, hotels and entertainment. Across Jasper County, some of the largest workplaces are Carthage R-IX Schools, Schreiber Foods Fairview Plant and Contract Freighters, Inc Joplin Headquarter. Few people work from home, and unemployment in the county has eased a little compared with a year earlier.
Things to do. Fred G. Hughes Stadium is in or beside town, and the George Washington Carver National Monument, a protected area, is a short drive away. Route 66 Park is also a short drive away, and Spring Creek, a river, is close by as well. Winters are cold and summers hot, with a good deal 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 Duquesne’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 Jasper County and the Joplin, MO metro.
