Size & Population

Mt. Vernon is five square miles wide and sits within driving distance to the Ozarks, Branson, Springfield and Joplin, Missouri to name just a few. The 2020 census put Mt. Vernon's population at 4,526. Small enough to know your neighbors, yet large enough to hold events such as Apple Butter Makin' Days.
