What it’s like
The place. Leasburg is a very small village in Crawford County, Missouri, where neighbors are likely to know one another. Household incomes in town run well below those across the county, and few adults hold a four-year degree. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month, and summers are hot, with July the warmest.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with others in manufacturing, retail and the building trades. Across Crawford County, some of the largest workplaces are Missouri Baptist Sullivan Hospital, the Crawford County R-II Schools and Meramec Instrument Transformer. The typical commute is fairly long, and unemployment across the county has eased a little over the past year, with more jobs than a year earlier.
Things to do. The Little Bourbeuse River runs in or beside town, and Onondaga Cave State Park, a protected area with a well-known cave, is a short drive away. Huzzah Creek is also a short drive away and is a river for paddling and time by the water. Meramec Caverns, a well-known tourist attraction, 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 in Leasburg’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 Crawford County.
