What it’s like
The place. Morland is a small city in Graham County, in northwest Kansas, and its typical resident is well along in life. Winters here are colder than most of the country, with cold nights and snow, and summers are hot. The area is drier than much of the country, and homes are modest in price compared with much of the nation.
Work. Work in Morland tends to be in schools, hospitals and social care, in farming, forestry and mining, in shops, and in the building trades. Across Graham County, there were fewer jobs last year than the year before, and unemployment has crept up over the past year.
Things to do. The Nicodemus National Historic Site is a museum about a town founded by formerly enslaved settlers after the Civil War, and it is a longer drive away. The Grainfield Opera House is a theatre, also 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 Graham County.
