What it’s like
The place. Pleasanton is a small city in Linn County, Kansas, where most homes are lived in by their owners and typical home values are modest. Fewer adults here hold a four-year degree than in many parts of the country, and the town's poverty rate is lower than a good number of rural places. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month, while summers turn hot, with July the warmest.
Work. Residents work mainly in schools, hospitals and social care, the building trades, manufacturing and shops. Across Linn County, the largest workplaces include Prairie View Schools and Pleasanton Schools, along with Kansas Plant, which makes lintels and concrete products. The county has added jobs over the past year, though unemployment is still somewhat higher than it was a year earlier would suggest, and the typical commute to work is a long one.
Things to do. A short drive away is the Marais des Cygnes National Wildlife Refuge, a protected area for walking and watching wildlife. Mine Creek Battlefield State Historic Site, an archaeological site tied to the Civil War, lies in or beside town. A longer drive leads to Fort Scott National Historic Site, a protected area that preserves a frontier fort.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Pleasanton’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 Linn County and the Kansas City, MO-KS metro.
