What it’s like

The place. Queen City is a very small city in Schuyler County, Missouri, where the people tend to be older than in most American places. Household incomes in town run below the county's, and a small share of adults hold a four-year degree. It is a quiet place where residents are likely to know one another.

Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with shops, manufacturing, and restaurants, hotels and entertainment also employing many. Across Schuyler County, the largest workplaces are Schuyler CO. R-I Schools and Tri-County Electric Cooperative Assn. Few people work from home, and the trip to work is a fair one for a town this size.

Things to do. Shoal Creek, a river a short drive away, is the closest outdoor spot nearby. Thousand Hills State Park and Lake Wapello State Park are protected areas, each a longer drive away, and worth planning a day around. Winters are cold and snowy, and summers are warm.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Queen City’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively low. 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 Schuyler County and the Kirksville, MO metro.
