What it’s like

The place. Emmet is a very small city in Nevada County, Arkansas, where neighbors are likely to know one another. Household incomes run a little above the county's. Winters are cool and rarely bring more than a dusting of snow, summers turn hot by August, and rain falls through much of the year.

Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with restaurants, hotels and entertainment, manufacturing and shops also employing many. Across Nevada County, some of the largest workplaces are Amrize Building Envelope US, a roofing manufacturer, along with the Prescott School District and the Nevada School District. Joblessness in the county has crept up a little over the past year, even as the number of jobs there has grown.

Things to do. The President William Jefferson Clinton Birthplace Home National Historic Site is a short drive away, as is Prairie D'Ane Battlefield, an archaeological site from the Civil War era. A longer drive brings you to Crater of Diamonds State Park, a protected area, and to Historic Washington State Park, a museum of preserved town buildings.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Emmet’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.
