Emerson’s 840 residents are split across Dixon, Dakota, and Wayne counties, so the figure above is the whole village, not the Dixon County share alone. Wakefield’s population likewise spans the Dixon–Wayne line. A few very small unincorporated clusters and rural addresses sometimes listed for Dixon County — including a former trailer court near Ponca and scattered farmstead landings along the Missouri River bluffs — have no verifiable current population or official status and are omitted here.<\/p>\n
