What it’s like
The place. Beebe is a small city in White County, with a median age a little younger than the country as a whole. Most homes are lived in by their owners, and household incomes run above the county's, though a noticeable share of residents live below the poverty line. Winters are cool, with January the coldest month, and summers are hot, with July the warmest. Snow is rare, and the year is fairly wet.
Work. Residents work mostly in shops, in schools, hospitals and social care, in banks, insurance and property, and in manufacturing. Among the largest workplaces in Beebe are Arkansas State University-Beebe, a two-year college, and Walmart. White County has been adding jobs, and unemployment there is lower than it was a year ago. The typical commute is a moderate one, and few people work from home.
Things to do. The Beebe Theater is in or beside town. A longer drive away are Bald Knob National Wildlife Refuge, a protected area, and Lake Conway, a lake. The Little Red River 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 Beebe’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 White County and the Searcy, AR metro.
