What it’s like

The place. Pine Bluff is a city in Jefferson County, Arkansas, and a place with a long history in the southeast of the state. Residents are close to the age of the typical American, and slightly more homes are lived in by their owners than rented. Incomes are below the county's, a larger share of people live below the poverty line than is typical, and homes and rents are modest in price. Winters are mild and brief, with highs near the cool end of comfortable in January, while summers turn hot by July. Snow is rare, and rain falls generously through the year.

Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by manufacturing, shops, and restaurants, hotels and entertainment. Among the largest workplaces in Pine Bluff are Tyson Poultry, Jefferson Regional Medical Center and the Pine Bluff School District. Unemployment is lower than a year ago, though jobs across the county have slipped slightly. Commutes are short, few people work from home, and a minority of adults hold a four-year degree.

Things to do. In or beside town, the Arts and Science Center for Southeast Arkansas is a museum, and the Arkansas Railroad Museum is another. The Community Theatre offers live performance close to home. For a longer drive, Cane Creek State Park is a protected area for time outdoors.
