What it’s like
The place. Omaha is a very small town in Boone County, Arkansas, home to only a small number of people, so neighbors are likely to know one another. Homes here are worth more than the county's household incomes might suggest. Few adults hold a four-year degree, and winters are cold while summers run hot, with a good deal of rain and melted snow through the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, in manufacturing, in shops, and in transport, warehouses and utilities. Across Boone County, the largest workplaces include North Arkansas Regional Medical CTR, the Harrison School District and Walmart. Unemployment in the county is a little lower than it was a year ago, though there are somewhat fewer jobs than the year before.
Things to do. Table Rock Lake, a reservoir, is a short drive away, as is Long Creek, a river. Silver Dollar City, an amusement park, and the Titanic Museum are both a longer drive away, and make for a full day out.

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