What it’s like
The place. Calhoun City is a small town where most homes are lived in by their owners, and typical home values sit at a modest level. Incomes across Calhoun County run below what is usual for the country, and a fairly large part of the town lives below the poverty line. Few adults hold a four-year degree, and the population is small enough that neighbors tend to know one another.
Work. Residents work mainly in manufacturing, in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, and in farming, forestry and mining. Across Calhoun County, the largest workplaces include the Calhoun County school district, Weyerhaeuser and Haworth Bruce. Commutes are fairly long, and almost no one works from home. Unemployment across the county is lower than a year ago, though the county has fewer jobs than it did the year before.
Things to do. For time outdoors, Hugh White State Park is a protected area, and Grenada Lake is a reservoir, both a longer drive away. The Big Black River is also a longer drive away, and anyone interested in the region's early history can visit Bynum Mound and Village Site, an archaeological site, likewise a longer drive away. Winters are mild and cool, summers are hot, and the area gets little snow but plenty of rain through the year.
