What it’s like
The place. Williamsville is a very small city in Wayne County, Missouri, with a population that is among the smallest of any American city. Incomes across the county run below the typical American level, and homes in town are valued modestly. Fewer adults here hold a four-year degree than in most places. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month, and summers are hot, with July the warmest. Rain and melted snow add up to a fairly wet year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with shops, manufacturing, and transport, warehouses and utilities also employing many. Across Wayne County, some of the largest workplaces are Clearwater R-I Schools, Greenville R-II Schools and Americare Senior Living. Unemployment across the county is a little lower than a year ago, and the number of jobs there has barely changed.
Things to do. Brushy Creek, a river, runs in or beside town. A short drive away, Eads Creek is another river for anyone who likes time by the water. For a longer outing, Lake Wappapello is a reservoir, and Lake Wappapello State Park, a protected area beside it, is also 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 Williamsville’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 Wayne County and the Poplar Bluff, MO metro.
