What it’s like
The place. Glasco is a very small Kansas city in Cloud County, and nearly everyone who lives there owns their home. Home values are modest, and household incomes across Cloud County are on the lower side. Few adults hold a four-year degree, and very few work from home. Winters are cold, with highs in January staying near freezing and nights well below it, while July brings hot days; snow is light to moderate and the year brings a fair amount of rain.
Work. Residents of Glasco work mainly in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by shops, manufacturing, and farming, forestry and mining. Across Cloud County, the biggest workplaces include Cloud County Community College, Concordia Schools and Walmart. Unemployment across Cloud County is slightly higher than a year ago, and the county has a few fewer jobs than the year before.
Things to do. For a day out, Waconda Lake is a reservoir a longer drive away, good for time on the water. Rock City, Kansas is a park, also a longer drive away. The Cloud County Historical Museum, likewise a longer drive off, covers the area's past.

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 Cloud County.
