What it’s like
The place. Hurdland is a very small city in Knox County, in northeast Missouri, with far fewer residents than most towns anyone would think to compare it to. Homes here are priced below what is typical across the country, and household incomes across Knox County are modest. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month and temperatures that often stay below freezing, while summers turn warm in July. Rain and melted snow fall steadily through the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in shops, in schools, hospitals and social care, and in farming, forestry and mining, with manufacturing close behind. Across Knox County, the largest workplaces are Knox CO. R-I Schools, a school district, and Cardwell Lumber Inc (Novelty), a maker of boards cut from logs or bolts. Unemployment across the county is lower than it was a year ago, though there are somewhat fewer jobs than the year before, and a typical commute is a long one.
Things to do. The countryside around Hurdland is laced with small rivers and creeks. Democrat Creek and North River are both a short drive away, good for a quiet afternoon by the water. For a longer outing, Thousand Hills State Park is a protected area a longer drive away.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Hurdland’s 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 Knox County.
