What it’s like
The place. Clopton is a small town in Henry County, in the southeast corner of Alabama. Across the county, residents are older on the whole than the country as a whole, and most homes are lived in by their owners. The Census counts the county rather than the town itself, so the wider county picture is the best guide to the community.
Work. Schools, hospitals and social care, shops, transport and warehouses, and professional services employ many of the county's residents. Unemployment is low, though the number of jobs in the county fell over the past year. Most people drive to work, and few work from home.
Things to do. Blue Springs State Park is a protected area a short drive away, and Walter F. George Lake, a reservoir, is a longer drive off. Kolomoki Mounds State Park, an archaeological site, is also a longer drive away, and the United States Army Aviation Museum offers a different kind of outing.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms across Henry 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 Henry County and the Dothan, AL metro.
