What it’s like
The place. Floris is a very small city in Davis County, Iowa, where most people know one another. Its residents are older on average than most people across the country, and many have lived here for a long time. Winters are colder than in most of the country and bring a fair amount of snow, while summers are warm and the year is quite wet.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, or in manufacturing. Shops and farming, forestry and mining also provide work for people here. Across the county, fewer jobs were added last year than the year before, though unemployment is lower than it was.
Things to do. Soap Creek, a river a short drive away, is the nearest natural spot to spend a quiet afternoon. The McHaffey Opera House, a theatre also a short drive away, is one of the closer places for an evening out. The International Video Game Hall of Fame, a museum a longer drive away, and Lake Wapello State Park, a protected area a longer drive away, are worth the longer trip.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Floris’ census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, very 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 Davis County.
