What it’s like
The place. Fouke is a very small Arkansas city in Miller County, with household incomes below the county's and a typical home value that sits well within reach of a modest income. Few adults here hold a four-year degree, and the daily drive to work is a short one for most people. Winters are mild but cool, summers run hot, and the year brings a good deal of rain.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, shops, and transport, warehouses and utilities close behind. Across Miller County, some of the largest workplaces are the Texarkana School District, Walmart and UPS. Unemployment across the county is lower than it was a year ago, though the county has fewer jobs than the year before.
Things to do. For time outdoors, Days Creek is a river a short drive away, while Atlanta State Park, a protected area, is a longer drive. Anyone interested in history and old cars could make the longer drive to the Four States Auto Museum.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Fouke’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 Miller County and the Texarkana, TX-AR metro.
