What it’s like
The place. Gibbs is a very small village in Adair County, Missouri, where most homes are lived in by their owners. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month, and summers are warm, with July the warmest. Rain and melted snow add up to a wet year, so the seasons are easy to tell apart here.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, in restaurants, hotels and entertainment, or in manufacturing. Jobs in Adair County were fewer in the most recent year than the year before, and unemployment has edged up over the past year. Few adults in the area hold a college degree.
Things to do. Thousand Hills State Park, a protected area, is a longer drive away and suits those who enjoy open land and quiet walks. Floyd Creek and North River, both rivers, are a short drive away and are good places for a relaxed afternoon by the water.

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