What it’s like
The place. Flippin is a small city in the Ozark hills of northern Arkansas, in Marion County. Incomes in the county run below the national picture, and more people here live below the poverty line than most would expect. Few adults hold a four-year degree, and almost no one works from home, so daily life centers on jobs done on site. Winters are cold and summers are hot, with steady rain and some melted snow through the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in manufacturing, in schools, hospitals and social care, in the building trades, and in shops. Across Marion County, some of the largest workplaces are White River Marine Group, a boat yard, along with Walmart and the Flippin School District. Unemployment in the county is lower than it was a year ago, though the county has fewer jobs than it did the year before.
Things to do. Water is the main draw nearby. Bull Shoals Lake, a reservoir, is a short drive away, as are Bull Shoals Caverns, a tourist attraction, and Bull Shoals-White River State Park. Buffalo National River, a protected area, is a longer drive away and suits anyone who wants a day out on one of the region's best known rivers.

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