What it’s like
The place. Linneus is a very small city, one of the smallest places in Linn County, and it is the kind of town where neighbors are likely to know one another. Homes here are valued below what is typical across much of the country, and household incomes across Linn County sit below the national middle. Winters are cold and summers are warm, with rain and melted snow spread through the year.
Work. Most residents who hold jobs work in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, transport and warehouses, and shops also employing many. Fewer adults here hold a four-year degree than in most places. Across Linn County, the largest workplaces include Walsworth Publishing, Moore Fans and Brookfield Fabricating, and unemployment in the county has eased compared with a year earlier, though the number of jobs has barely grown.
Things to do. Strawberry Branch, a small river, runs in or beside town. A short drive away are Pershing State Park, a protected area, and the Gen. John J. Pershing Boyhood Home State Historic Site, which is also a protected area. A longer drive brings you to the Walt Disney Hometown Museum, a museum honoring one of the best known figures in American animation.

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