What it’s like
The place. Seligman is a small city in Barry County, Missouri, with a population that would fit in a few city blocks of a larger town. Household incomes here run below the county's, and few adults hold a four-year degree. The typical commute is a long one, which suggests that many residents travel some distance for work, and very few work from home.
Work. Residents work mostly in manufacturing, in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, and in the building trades. Across Barry County, the largest workplaces include Cassville Processing and Tyson Poultry, both poultry processors, along with Schreiber Foods Monett, a cheese manufacturer. Unemployment in the county is a little lower than a year ago, though the county has fewer jobs than it did the year before.
Things to do. Roaring River State Park, a protected area, is a short drive away, and so is Pea Ridge National Military Park, a historic battlefield site. Beaver Lake, a large reservoir, is also a short drive away, and the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art is a longer drive. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month, and summers are warm, with August the warmest.

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