What it’s like
The place. Winona is a small city in the Ozark hills of Shannon County, Missouri, where most people know their neighbors. Incomes here run well below the county's, and a larger share of residents live below the poverty line than most would expect. Homes are modest in price, and very few adults hold a four-year degree. Winters are cold and summers are hot, with plenty of rain and melted snow through the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by manufacturing, transport and warehouses, and shops. Very few work from home. Across Shannon County, some of the largest workplaces are Hardwoods of Missouri, which makes hardwood and parquet flooring, along with the Winona R-III Schools and the Rock Point Nursing Center. Unemployment across the county has eased a little compared with a year earlier, and the county has added jobs.
Things to do. The best known draw nearby is Ozark National Scenic Riverways, a protected area along the rivers, a longer drive away. Jacks Fork, a river within that landscape, is also a longer drive away and suits time on the water. For something underground, Current River Cavern is a tourist attraction, again 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 Winona’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 Shannon County.
