What it’s like
The place. Gravette is a small city in the northwest corner of Arkansas, in Benton County. Its residents are younger than in many American towns, and household incomes run well below the county's. Winters are cold but not severe, with some snow each year, and summers turn hot.
Work. Many residents work in shops, in schools, hospitals and social care, and in manufacturing, with professional and business services close behind. The largest workplaces in town are Ozarks Community Hospital of Gravett, the Gravette School District and Insul-Bead, which makes foam polystyrene products. Benton County has added jobs over the past year, and unemployment there has eased a little.
Things to do. A short drive away, Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art is a museum of American art, and the Old Spanish Treasure Cave is a tourist attraction. Lake Ann, also a short drive off, offers lake scenery close to home. Farther out, Pea Ridge National Military Park is a historic battlefield site.

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.
