What it’s like

The place. Luxora is a very small city in Mississippi County, in the flat Delta country of northeast Arkansas. Winters are cool and fairly short, with only a little snow, and summers are hot. Rain and melted snow add up to a good deal over the year. Few adults here hold a four-year degree, and the typical trip to work is short.

Work. Across Mississippi County, many people work in manufacturing, in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, and in restaurants and hotels. Among the largest workplaces in the county are Nucor Steel Arkansas, Maverick Tube and American Greetings. Unemployment across the county is lower than it was a year earlier, though the county had fewer jobs last year than the year before.

Things to do. Fort Pillow State Park, an archaeological site, is a short drive away. Big Lake National Wildlife Refuge, a protected area, is a longer drive away, as is Hampson Archeological Museum State Park, a museum devoted to the region's early peoples. Together they make for easy day trips into the surrounding countryside.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Luxora’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively high. 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 Mississippi County and the Blytheville, AR metro.
