What it’s like

The place. Hampton is a small city and the seat of Calhoun County, in south Arkansas. Fewer adults here hold a four-year degree than is typical across the country, and a share of households live below the poverty line. Winters are mild and rarely bring snow, summers are hot, and the year is a wet one.

Work. Residents find work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, retail and the building trades close behind. Across Calhoun County, the Hampton School District is the largest workplace. The job market has been improving: unemployment across the county is lower than it was a year ago, and the county has added jobs over the past year. A typical commute is a fairly short drive.

Things to do. For a day out, Moro Bay State Park is a protected area a longer drive away, and the South Arkansas Arboretum is a botanical garden at a similar distance. History-minded visitors can head to Marks’ Mills Battleground State Park, an archaeological site, also a longer drive away. Fort Southerland, the best known of the nearby places, is a fort that is likewise a longer drive from town.

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