What it’s like
The place. Booneville is a small city in Logan County, Arkansas, where owners and renters live in roughly equal numbers. Incomes run below the county's as a whole, and typical home prices are modest. Few adults hold a four-year degree, and very few people work from home.
Work. Most residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, shops, and restaurants and hotels also employing many. Among the largest workplaces in Booneville are the Booneville School District, Walmart and Mercy Hospital Booneville. Jobs across Logan County slipped slightly last year, while unemployment there has eased a little from a year earlier, and the typical commute is a fairly short drive.
Things to do. For time outdoors, Mount Magazine State Park is a protected area a longer drive away, and Blue Mountain Lake is a reservoir that is also a longer drive. The Petit Jean River and the Poteau River are both within a longer drive too, for anyone who likes to be near moving water. Winters here are cold, with the coldest weather in January, and summers get hot by July, with a good deal of rain and melted snow through the year.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Booneville’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively moderate. 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 Logan County.
