What it’s like
The place. Enterprise is a very small city in Dickinson County, Kansas, where nearly everyone lives in a home they own. Household incomes run below the county's, and a small share of adults hold a four-year degree. Winters are cold, with some snow, and summers get hot, with a fair amount of rain across the year.
Work. Residents work mainly in manufacturing, in schools, hospitals and social care, in professional and business services, and in shops. Across Dickinson County, the largest workplaces include Russell Stover Chocolates in Abilene, Great Plains Manufacturing, and Abilene Schools. The typical commute is a moderate one, and few people work from home.
Things to do. A short drive away is the Dwight D. Eisenhower Presidential Library, Museum and Boyhood Home, and nearby too are the Lander Park Carousel and the Abilene and Smoky Valley Railroad, a museum. For time on the water, Milford Lake, a reservoir with Milford State Park beside it, is a longer drive.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Enterprise’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 Dickinson County.
