What it’s like
The place. Greeley is a very small Kansas city, where neighbors are likely to know one another. Homes here are valued at a modest level, and across Anderson County household incomes sit at a middle range for the state. Winters are cold and summers turn hot, with some snow each year and steady rain through the warmer months.
Work. Residents of Greeley work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, the building trades and shops also employing many. Across Anderson County, the largest workplaces include Anderson County Hospital, Garnett Schools and Parkview Heights Nursing & Rehab Center. Unemployment across the county is higher than it was a year ago, while the number of jobs has grown slightly.
Things to do. Hillsdale Lake, a reservoir, is a longer drive away and offers a place to be out on the water. Mine Creek Battlefield State Historic Site, also a longer drive away, preserves a piece of Civil War history. The Prairie Spirit Trail State Park, another longer drive away, is a protected area suited to a walk or a ride.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Greeley’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 Anderson County and the Ottawa, KS metro.
