What it’s like
The place. Greenville is a small city and the seat of Butler County in south Alabama. Incomes here run below the county's, and more people live below the poverty line than is typical, while most homes are rented rather than lived in by their owners. A four-year degree is held by relatively few adults, and the typical commute is a short one.
Work. Residents work mostly in manufacturing, in schools, hospitals and social care, in restaurants, hotels and entertainment, and in shops. Among the largest workplaces in Greenville are Butler County Schools, Conector Manufacturing Company and Walmart. Jobs across the county have held roughly level over the past year, and unemployment is a little higher than a year ago.
Things to do. Confederate Park is a park in or beside town. A short drive away is Fort Dale, and Fort Bibb is a longer drive away; both are historic forts. Winters are mild and brief, summers are hot, and the year brings plenty of rain.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Greenville’s census tracts, 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 Butler County.
