What it’s like

The place. Hartshorn sits in Shannon County, in the Ozarks of southern Missouri, where the county's population is older than across most of the country. Most homes across the county are lived in by their owners, and incomes are below the country's, with more people below the poverty line than across the country. Winters are cold, summers are warm, snowfall is light, and rain is plentiful throughout the year.

Work. Across Shannon County, many people work in schools, hospitals and social care, in manufacturing, in transport, warehouses and utilities, or in shops. Unemployment is lower than it was a year earlier, and the county has added jobs over the past year. Fewer adults hold a four-year degree than across the country, and fewer people work from home.

Things to do. Montauk State Park, a protected area, is a short drive away and is one of the best known places nearby. Big Creek, a river, is also a short drive away. Ozark National Scenic Riverways, another protected area, is a longer drive away.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms across Shannon County, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively low. 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 Shannon County.
