What it’s like
The place. Vermillion is a small city in Marshall County, in northeastern Kansas, and it is one of the smallest places on this site. Life here tends to feel close, with neighbors who know one another and a pace set by the seasons. Most people live near the farms and small businesses that make up the surrounding county.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, or in manufacturing and local shops. Farming, forestry and mining also provide work for people here. Far fewer people work from home than in most of the country, so most jobs are based outside the house.
Things to do. The Delaware River, one of the best known rivers in the area, is a longer drive away and offers a place to spend time by the water. Alcove Springs, a waterfall a longer drive away, is another option for a day outing. Both suit people who enjoy being outdoors in the countryside.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Vermillion’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively moderate. 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 Marshall County.
