What it’s like
The place. Marianna is a small city in the Arkansas Delta, the seat of Lee County. Far more of its homes are rented than owned, and many residents live below the poverty line, with incomes well under what is typical across the state. Few adults hold a four-year degree, and homes here cost far less than in most of the country. Winters are mild and rarely bring snow, summers are hot, and rain is plentiful through the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in farming, in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, and in restaurants and hotels. Across Lee County, the largest workplaces include the Lee County School District, McCarthy Building Companies and Greenway Equipment Marianna, which repairs farm machinery. Jobs across the county have fallen over the past year, and unemployment is a little lower than it was a year ago. A typical commute is a short one.
Things to do. The nearest outdoor draws are all a longer drive away. Delta Heritage Trail State Park and Louisiana Purchase State Park are protected areas for walking and time outdoors, and the St. Francis River is the nearest river for fishing and boating. For a quieter day indoors, the Delta Cultural Center is a museum on the history of the region.

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