What it’s like
The place. Mammoth Spring is a very small town on the Arkansas side of the Missouri line, where most homes are lived in by the people who own them. Household incomes run below the county's, and homes cost less than in much of the country. Winters are cold, summers are hot, and the year brings a fair amount of rain and melted snow.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, shops, and transport and warehousing also employing many. Across Fulton County, the largest workplaces include the Salem School District, Fulton County Hospital and the Mammoth Spring School District. Unemployment in the county is lower than a year ago, and the county has added a few more jobs than it had the year before.
Things to do. Mammoth Spring State Park, a protected area, sits in or beside town. Grand Gulf State Park, another protected area, is a short drive away. Cox Creek, a river, also runs in or beside town, so water is close at hand.

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