What it’s like
The place. Flomaton is a small town in Escambia County, Alabama. Household incomes here run below the county's, and homes tend to be modestly priced. Few adults have a four-year degree, and winters are mild, with little or no snow and a good deal of rain through the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in manufacturing, in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, and in restaurants, hotels and entertainment. Across Escambia County, some of the largest workplaces are Escambia County Schools, Alto Products and D W Mcmillan Memorial Hospital. Most people commute to work, and very few work from home.
Things to do. For time outdoors, Murder Creek is a river a longer drive away, and Little River State Forest is a protected area also a longer drive away. Blackwater Heritage Trail State Park is another park a longer drive away. Summers are hot and winters cool and mild, so most of the year suits time outside.
