What it’s like
The place. Logan is a very small city in Phillips County, in north-central Kansas farm country. Household incomes here run above the county's, and homes are priced modestly. Few adults hold a four-year degree, and very few work from home. Winters are cold, with highs near freezing in January and a fair amount of snow, while July brings hot days.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by farming, forestry and mining, then government and other services. Across Phillips County, some of the largest workplaces are TAMKO Building Products in Phillipsburg, Phillips County Hospital and Phillipsburg Schools. Unemployment in the county is close to where it stood a year ago, and the number of jobs has slipped only slightly.
Things to do. The closest outings are a longer drive away. Nicodemus National Historic Site is a museum telling the story of a historic Black settlement on the plains. Prairie Dog State Park and Webster State Park are protected areas with open land, and Kirwin Reservoir is a lake to visit for time by the water.

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