What it’s like
The place. Taylor is a small town in Marion County in northeastern Missouri. Across the county, most homes are lived in by their owners rather than rented. Winters are cold, summers are hot, and rain and melted snow fall steadily through the year.
Work. Across Marion County, many people work in schools, hospitals and social care, in manufacturing, in shops, or in professional and business services. Unemployment is lower than it was a year earlier, and the number of jobs has grown slightly. A fair share of residents live below the poverty line, and fewer adults hold a four-year degree than in many larger places.
Things to do. The Mark Twain Boyhood Home & Museum is a museum a longer drive away, and Mark Twain Cave is a tourist attraction also a longer drive away. Closer by, Wakonda State Park is a protected area a short drive away, offering a place to spend time outdoors.

Natural hazards

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