What it’s like
The place. Grady is a very small city in Lincoln County, Arkansas, with a population that ranks among the smallest of any place on this site. Homes here are modestly priced, and household incomes in the county run below the national picture. Winters are mild and short, with only a dusting of snow in most years, while summers get hot, and rain and melted snow fall generously through the year.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, retail shops, and farming, forestry and mining also providing jobs. Across Lincoln County, the largest workplaces include the Star City School District, Oasis Health Care and SAF Holland. Unemployment in the county is a little lower than it was a year ago, though the county has fewer jobs than it did the year before.
Things to do. The closest places worth a trip are all a longer drive away. Arkansas Post is an archaeological site, Cane Creek State Park is a protected area for time outdoors, and the Arkansas Railroad Museum is a museum for anyone who likes trains. Each makes a good day out rather than a quick errand.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Grady’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 Lincoln County and the Pine Bluff, AR metro.
