What it’s like
The place. Glencoe sits in Fulton County in north Arkansas, where residents are older than the country as a whole. Across the county, most homes are lived in by their owners, and household incomes and the share of people below the poverty line are both less favourable than the national picture. Winters are cool with only light snow, summers are hot, and rain falls for much of the year.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, in manufacturing, in shops, or in transport, warehouses and utilities. Across Fulton County, unemployment is lower than it was a year earlier, and jobs have grown slightly over the past year. Few adults hold a four-year degree and few people work from home, so most people travel to a workplace each day, usually by a moderate drive.
Things to do. Grand Gulf State Park, a protected area, and Mammoth Spring State Park, also a protected area, are both a longer drive away. Presley Branch, a river, is also a longer drive away.

Natural hazards
- Ice stormsVery high
- Strong windRelatively moderate
FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms across Fulton County, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively low. 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 Fulton County.
