What it’s like
The place. Dadeville is a small city and the seat of Tallapoosa County, home to a population that skews a little older, with residents of middle age and beyond making up much of the community. Household incomes run above the county's, and a smaller share of people live below the poverty line than you might expect. Few adults hold a four-year degree, and typical home values sit well up in the range for the area. Winters are cool and mild by northern standards, with January the coldest month and frosty nights, while summers are hot, with July the warmest.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by manufacturing, shops, and banks, insurance and property. In Dadeville, the largest workplaces include Dadeville Healthcare Center, Sprinturf and Lake Martin Community Hospital. Unemployment across Tallapoosa County is a little higher than a year earlier, and the county has fewer jobs than the year before. A modest share of people work from home.
Things to do. Lake Martin, a reservoir, is a short drive away and is the nearest place for time on the water. Wind Creek State Park, a protected area, is also a short drive away, and Fort Okfuskee, a fort, is close by too. Horseshoe Bend National Military Park, an archaeological site, is a longer drive away for those who want a day trip.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Dadeville’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 Tallapoosa County and the Alexander City, AL metro.
