What it’s like
The place. Lowell is a city in Benton County, Arkansas, home to a younger population than much of the country. Incomes run a little above the county's, and most homes are lived in by their owners. Winters are cold, with some snow, and summers are hot, with plenty of rain and melted snow through the year.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, in the building trades and in manufacturing. Among the largest workplaces in Lowell are JB Hunt, with its corporate offices, along with Amazon and FedEx. The trip to work is fairly short, and a good number of people work from home.
Things to do. A short drive away are the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art and the Botanical Garden of the Ozarks. Lake Atalanta, also a short drive off, offers a spot by the water. A longer drive brings you to Pea Ridge National Military Park.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Lowell’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively moderate. 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 Benton County and the Fayetteville-Springdale-Rogers, AR metro.
