What it’s like

The place. Mulberry is a very small city in Crawford County, in the southeast corner of Kansas, with a population small enough that neighbors tend to know one another. Household incomes here sit almost level with the county's, and homes are inexpensive compared with much of the country. Winters are cold, with January the chilliest month, and summers turn hot by August, with a fair amount of rain and melted snow through the year.

Work. Residents most often work in schools, hospitals and social care, in restaurants, hotels and entertainment, in shops, and in manufacturing. Few adults in town hold a four-year degree. Across Crawford County, the largest workplaces include Pittsburg State University, Pittsburg Schools and VIA Christi Hospital Pittsburg. The county has lost a few jobs over the past year, though unemployment there has eased compared with a year earlier.

Things to do. Prairie State Park, a protected area of preserved grassland, is a short drive away, as is Richland Creek, a river that suits a quiet afternoon outdoors. A longer drive brings you to Fort Scott National Historic Site, a protected area that preserves a nineteenth-century frontier fort.
