What it’s like
The place. Viburnum is a very small city in Iron County, Missouri, where nearly everyone owns the home they live in. Incomes in the county run below the Missouri norm, and a good share of residents live below the poverty line. Few adults hold a four-year degree, and homes are modestly priced. Winters are cold, with a modest amount of snow, and summers are warm.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with others in manufacturing, the building trades and shops. Across Iron County, the largest workplaces include Arcadia Valley R-II Schools, Iron County Hospital and Belleview Investment Group. Unemployment in the county is lower than a year ago, though the county has fewer jobs than it did the year before. Most people drive to work, with a commute of a fairly ordinary length, and very few work from home.
Things to do. Mark Twain National Forest is a protected area a short drive away, good for walking and time outdoors. Dillard Mill State Historic Site, also a short drive off, is a protected area with a historic mill. Courtois Creek is a river a short drive away, and Johnson's Shut-Ins State Park, a protected area, is a longer drive.

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