What it’s like
The place. Imboden is a very small town in Randolph County, Arkansas, where most people know one another. Homes here are modestly priced, and incomes in the county run below the national picture, with more households living in poverty than in most places. Few adults hold a four-year degree, and almost no one works from home, since most jobs are done on site. Winters are cool and summers are hot, with only a little snow in an average year and plenty of rain through the seasons.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with many others in manufacturing, shops, and transport, warehouses and utilities. Across Randolph County, the largest workplaces include Peco Foods Inc.-Poultry Processing Plant, the Pocahontas School District and Walmart. Unemployment in the county is lower than it was a year earlier, and the county has gained jobs over the past year.
Things to do. Spring River is a river a short drive away, and Davidsonville Historic State Park, an archaeological site, is also a short drive away. Lake Charles State Park, a protected area, is a short drive away too. For a longer outing, Mammoth Spring State Park is a protected area a longer drive away.
