What it’s like
The place. Hollister is a small city in Taney County, in the Missouri Ozarks, with Fall Creek running in or beside town. Most homes are lived in by their owners, and the people here are somewhat younger than in many American towns. Incomes run a little below the county's, and a four-year degree is less common among adults than across much of the country.
Work. Residents work mostly in shops, in schools, hospitals and social care, in restaurants, hotels and entertainment, and in manufacturing. Some of the largest workplaces in Hollister are Menards, Lowe's of Hollister and UPS. The commute to work is fairly short, and few people work from home.
Things to do. Table Rock Lake, a reservoir, and Lake Taneycomo, another reservoir, are both a short drive away, as is Table Rock State Park. Silver Dollar City, an amusement park, and the Titanic Museum are also a short drive from town. Winters here are cold and summers warm, with a good deal of rain and melted snow across the year.

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