What it’s like

The place. Danville is a small city in Yell County, Arkansas, and it is a quiet place by most measures. Household incomes here run higher than across the county as a whole, though a good number of residents still live below the poverty line. Few adults hold a four-year degree, and very few work from home.

Work. Many residents work in manufacturing, in schools, hospitals and social care, in banks, insurance and property, or in government. Across Yell County, the largest workplaces include Tyson Poultry, Wayne Sanderson Farms and the Dardanelle School District. The county has lost some jobs over the past year, though unemployment is lower than it was a year earlier.

Things to do. For time outdoors, Lake Dardanelle and Petit Jean State Park are the best known places nearby, one a lake and the other a protected area, and both are a longer drive away. Mount Magazine State Park, also a protected area, is another longer drive. Winters are cool, with only a little snow, and summers are hot, so spring and fall are easy seasons for getting out.

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