What it’s like
The place. McCrory is a small city in Woodruff County, Arkansas, with a population that skews a little younger than many rural towns. Incomes here run below the county's, and more people live below the poverty line than most would like, though most homes are lived in by their owners. Winters are cool, with only a dusting of snow, and summers are hot and the year is fairly wet.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with shops, transport and warehouses, and manufacturing close behind. Across Woodruff County, some of the largest workplaces are Sloan Valve-Augusta, the Augusta School District and Centoco Manufacturing. Few adults hold a four-year degree, the typical commute is short, and only a small number of people work from home.
Things to do. For time outdoors, the Cache River National Wildlife Refuge and the Bald Knob National Wildlife Refuge are protected areas a longer drive away. Village Creek State Park is another protected area a longer drive away, and the Little Red River is a river a longer drive away.
