What it’s like
The place. Paris is a small city and the seat of Logan County, Arkansas. Most homes are lived in by their owners, and incomes run below the county's overall. Winters are cold but short on snow, summers are hot, and the town gets a fair amount of rain through the year.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, with others in manufacturing, professional and business services, and restaurants and hotels. Among the largest workplaces in Paris are the Paris School District, Northport Health Services of Arkansas and Walmart. Across Logan County, jobs slipped slightly last year, and the jobless rate this summer was a little lower than a year earlier.
Things to do. Mount Magazine State Park, a protected mountain area, is a longer drive away, as is Lake Dardanelle, a large lake that also has its own state park. Blue Mountain Lake, a reservoir, is also a longer drive away and suits a day by the water.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Paris’ census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively moderate. 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 Logan County.
