What it’s like
The place. Flandreau is a small city in Moody County, South Dakota, where people tend to be somewhat younger than in many small towns. Most homes are lived in by their owners, though fewer than across many rural places, and a share of residents live in poverty. Winters are cold and snowy, with January the coldest month, and summers are warm without being extreme, with a fair amount of rain and melted snow through the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by restaurants, hotels and entertainment, the building trades and shops. Some of the largest workplaces in Flandreau are the Flandreau School District, Avera Flandreau Hospital and the Bureau of Indian Education. Jobs across Moody County have dipped slightly over the past year, and unemployment there is low, a little lower than a year earlier. Commutes are short, and very few people work from home.
Things to do. Flandreau Creek runs in or beside town, a river for a quiet walk or time by the water. A longer drive away are Pipestone National Monument, an archaeological site, and Split Rock Creek State Park, a protected area. Palisades State Park, also a protected area, is another longer drive from town.

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