What it’s like
The place. Eufaula is a small city in Barbour County, Alabama, with a population younger than in many places and incomes a little above the county's. Most homes are lived in by their owners, and a typical home costs well under what it does across much of the country. Winters are mild, summers are hot, and the year brings a good deal of rain.
Work. People in Eufaula work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, shops and government close behind. Among the largest workplaces in town are Eufaula City Schools, Walmart and Medical Center Barbour. Fewer adults hold a four-year degree than across much of the country, and most people travel to work rather than working from home.
Things to do. Walter F. George Lake, a reservoir a short drive away, is the best known place nearby for time on the water. Eufaula National Wildlife Refuge, a protected area, and Lakepoint State Park are also a short drive away. Fendall Hall, a museum, is a longer drive away.

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 Barbour County and the Eufaula, AL-GA metro.
