What it’s like
The place. Magazine is a very small city in Logan County, Arkansas, where neighbors are likely to know one another. Household incomes run below the county's, and the typical home is valued at a price that is modest by national standards. Few adults hold a four-year degree. Winters are cold but short of harsh, with January the coldest month and highs around the middle of the range for a chilly day. Summers are hot, and July brings the warmest days. Rain and melted snow are plentiful across the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, shops, and professional and business services also employing many. Across Logan County, the largest workplaces include Rockline Industries-Booneville, American Axle & Manufacturing and the Booneville School District. Jobs across the county were slightly fewer last year than the year before, and unemployment there has eased a little compared with a year earlier.
Things to do. Blue Mountain Lake, a reservoir, is a short drive away and is the nearest place for time on the water. Mount Magazine State Park, a protected area, is a longer drive away and suits a day out in the hills. The Poteau River is also a longer drive away for those who like to be beside a river.

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