What it’s like
The place. Success is a small town in Texas County, in the Ozarks of south-central Missouri, where the land is hilly and rivers wind through wooded country. The population leans toward older residents, and most homes across the county are lived in by their owners. Winters are colder than in most of the country, summers are warm, and rain falls often through the year.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, in manufacturing, in shops, or in the building trades. Unemployment has eased over the past year, though the number of jobs has dipped a little. Few adults hold a four-year degree, few people work from home, and most drives to work are fairly short.
Things to do. For time outdoors, Gasconade River is the best known of the waterways nearby, a longer drive away. Paddy Creek Wilderness, a protected area, is a short drive away, and Montauk State Park, also a protected area, lies a longer drive off.

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