What it’s like
The place. Tuscumbia is a very small town in Miller County, Missouri, and it has the quiet feel that goes with that. Household incomes in town run well below the county's, and typical home values are modest for the region. Few adults hold a four-year degree. Winters are cold, with only a little snow, and summers turn hot, while rain and melted snow fall at a fairly steady rate through the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with others in shops, the building trades and manufacturing. Across Miller County, some of the largest workplaces are Quaker Window Co. in Eldon, Adient US, which makes automobile seat frames, and the Eldon R-I Schools. Unemployment in the county is low and about the same as a year ago, though there were somewhat fewer jobs across the county last year than the year before.
Things to do. Dog Creek and Gum Creek run in or beside town, which makes for easy time near the water. Lake of the Ozarks, a large reservoir, is a short drive away. Bridal Cave, a tourist attraction, is a longer drive away.

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