Watson, Missouri: commercial real estate data.
Watson is a Census village of 51 people across 0.11 square miles of land, in Atchison County. 88.0 percent of occupied homes are owned.
Underlined figures are computed by MMCG Analytics, not published by the agency.
This is a small place, and the figures below carry wide margins.
The American Community Survey reaches Watson through a sample, not a count, and in a place this size that sample is thin. The population estimate here is 51 with a margin of error of plus or minus 29, which is 56.9 percent of the estimate itself. Every figure whose margin reaches 20 percent is printed with that margin beside it, so you can see the width of each one rather than having to assume it.
Nothing has been removed or adjusted. These are the published federal estimates, shown with the uncertainty the Census publishes alongside them.

Common questions
Watson questions, answered from the record.
How many people live in Watson, Missouri?
51, in 25 households. Watson village covers 0.11 square miles of land, which is 470 people per square mile. Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, place level, 2020-2024 5-year.

Atchison County, which holds 100.0 percent of the place by area. Source: US Census Bureau, cartographic boundary file, places, 2024 vintage.
Is Watson in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Watson appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as Watson, village of, community 290014, with no Community Rating System class, so no CRS discount applies. Whether a specific parcel sits in a mapped special flood hazard area is an address level question the platform answers.
Are the county figures on this page Watson figures?
No, and they are labeled so. County Business Patterns, QCEW, the Building Permits Survey, BEA product and IRS migration are published for Atchison County as a whole and there is no place level equivalent. They appear in one clearly marked section as context and are never presented as measurements of Watson.
Is zoning published for Watson?
No. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
