What it’s like
The place. Pangburn is a very small city in White County, Arkansas, where neighbors are likely to know one another. Few adults here hold a four-year degree, and the town has a modest base of homes and a quiet, rural feel. Winters are cool and summers are hot, with only a little snow and a good deal of rain across the year.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, with others in shops, manufacturing and the building trades. Very few work from home. Across White County, some of the largest workplaces are White County Medical Center, Harding University and the Searcy School District.
Things to do. Greers Ferry Lake is a reservoir a longer drive away, and the Little Red River, also a longer drive away, is a good choice for time on the water. Woolly Hollow State Park, a protected area a longer drive away, suits a day outdoors, and Bridal Veil Falls is a waterfall in the same longer-drive range.

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