What it’s like
The place. Marquand is a very small city in Madison County, Missouri, where nearly everyone is likely to know one another. Households here earn less than the county as a whole, and the typical home is worth a good deal more than the local incomes might suggest. Few adults have a four-year degree, and only a small number work from home. Winters are cold and summers are hot, with a modest amount of snow and plenty of rain through the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by shops, manufacturing, and restaurants and hotels. Across Madison County, some of the largest workplaces are Fredericktown R-I Schools, Walmart and Madison Medical Center. Jobs in the county slipped a little last year, while unemployment there has eased compared with a year ago.
Things to do. Water is the main feature nearby. Whitener Creek, Aslinger Branch, Pond Branch and Greasy Creek all run in or beside town, so a walk to the water is close at hand. A few more creeks, such as Stevens Branch and Grounds Creek, are a short drive away.

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