What it’s like

The place. Beech Grove is a small town in Greene County, in northeastern Arkansas, and most of its residents are middle-aged. Across Greene County, most homes are lived in by their owners, and renting is less common than across the county's larger neighbors. Household incomes sit below the county's median for many families, and a sizable share of residents live below the poverty line.

Work. Across Greene County, the largest employers are in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by manufacturing, retail shops and the building trades. Unemployment has fallen over the past year, though the county has slightly fewer jobs than it did a year before. Fewer adults hold a four-year degree than in many parts of the country, and few people work from home, so most people commute to a workplace.

Things to do. Crowley's Ridge State Park, a protected area, is a short drive away and is a good place for walks among the trees. The Current River, a river a longer drive away, and the Powhatan Historic State Park, a museum a longer drive away, offer a fuller day out. Winters are cold and summers are hot, so spring and autumn are the most comfortable seasons for outdoor visits.
