What it’s like
The place. Moline is a very small city in Elk County, Kansas, where nearly everyone owns the home they live in. Typical home values are low, and household incomes sit below the county's. Winters are cold, with a modest amount of snow, and summers turn hot.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, with farming, forestry and mining, the building trades and shops also employing local people. Few adults hold a four-year degree. Across Elk County, the largest workplaces are the school districts, West Elk Schools and Elk Valley Schools, and the county's job count grew slightly in the most recent year.
Things to do. The closest outdoor options are all a longer drive away. Fall River State Park is a protected area, and Fall River Lake and Elk City Lake are both reservoirs for time on the water. The Emmett Kelly Museum, also a longer drive away, makes a different kind of outing.

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