What it’s like
The place. Clarkedale is a very small city in Crittenden County, Arkansas, where nearly every home is lived in by its owner and very few residents live below the poverty line. Winters are cool, with January the coldest month and nights that dip just above freezing, and summers are hot, with July the warmest. Rain and melted snow add up to a fairly wet year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, in transport, warehouses and utilities, in shops, and in manufacturing. Across Crittenden County, some of the largest workplaces are Hino Motors Manufacturing Arkansas, the West Memphis School District and Walmart. Getting to work usually takes a fair stretch of time, and some people work from home. Jobs across the county grew in the past year, and unemployment there has eased compared with a year earlier.
Things to do. A short drive away, Wapanocca National Wildlife Refuge is a protected area for time outdoors, and Meeman-Shelby Forest State Park offers more of the same. The SS Sultana, an archaeological site, is also a short drive away. For museums and the music and history of Memphis, the Blues Hall of Fame is a longer drive away.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Clarkedale’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively 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 Crittenden County and the Memphis, TN-MS-AR metro.
