What it’s like
The place. Bono is a small city in Greene County, Arkansas, with a young population: the typical resident is younger than in most of the country. Household incomes run a little below the county's, and a good share of residents live below the poverty line. Most homes are lived in by their owners, though a sizeable number are rented, and few adults hold a four-year degree.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, in manufacturing and in the building trades. Across Greene County, the largest workplaces include the Paragould School District, DRiV and Arkansas Methodist Medical Center. Unemployment across the county is lower than a year ago, though the county has fewer jobs than it did the year before, and the typical commute is a long one, with only a small number of people working from home.
Things to do. Centennial Bank Stadium and Lake Frierson State Park, a protected area, are both a short drive away. For a longer outing, Crowley's Ridge State Park is another protected area, and the Current River is one of several rivers within a longer drive. Winters are cold and only lightly snowed on, summers are hot, and rain falls through the year.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Bono’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 Greene County and the Paragould, AR metro.
