What it’s like
The place. Bonnerdale is a small community in Montgomery County, in the Ouachita Mountains of west-central Arkansas. Across the county, most homes are lived in by their owners, and the typical home value is well below the national figure. Winters are cold, summers are hot, and rain and melted snow fall through the year.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, in transport, warehouses and utilities, or in manufacturing. Unemployment across the county is lower than it was a year earlier, and jobs have grown slightly. Few residents work from home, and fewer adults hold a degree than in most of the country.
Things to do. Hot Springs National Park, a national park, is a longer drive away and is the best known of the places nearby. Lake Ouachita, a reservoir, and Magic Springs and Crystal Falls, an amusement park, are also a longer drive away.

Natural hazards
- Ice stormsRelatively high
FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms across Montgomery County, against the rest of the country; all of them together, very low. 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 Montgomery County and the Hot Springs, AR metro.
