What it’s like
The place. Marble Hill is a small city and the seat of Bollinger County, in the hilly country of southeast Missouri. Its residents are young for the country as a whole, and few adults hold a four-year degree. Homes are priced modestly, well below what is typical across much of the country. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month, while summers are hot, and the year brings a good deal of rain and melted snow.
Work. Across Bollinger County, the biggest employers include Harp's Food Store, Woodland R-IV Schools and Stonebridge Marble Hill, a skilled nursing facility. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by shops, manufacturing, and professional and business services. The commute to work is a long one, and very few people work from home. Unemployment in the county has eased a little over the past year, and the number of jobs has barely changed.
Things to do. Maria Pellegrino Park is in or beside town and is the nearest green space. A short drive away, Gimlet Creek and Drunken Creek are small rivers where people can spend time by the water. Bollinger Mill State Historic Site, a protected area, is a longer drive away.

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 Bollinger County and the Cape Girardeau, MO-IL metro.
