What it’s like
The place. Quitman is a very small city, with a population that is mostly middle-aged and older. Typical home values are well above what the county's household incomes might suggest, and the town has the quiet feel of a place where people tend to know one another. Winters are cold but short, with January the coldest month, and summers turn hot by July, with a good deal of rain and melted snow through the year.
Work. Residents work mainly in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by manufacturing, shops, and professional and business services. Fewer adults here hold a four-year degree than in many places, and very few work from home. Across Cleburne County, the largest workplaces include the Heber Springs School District, Walmart and Mayville Engineering Company, and unemployment has eased over the past year while the number of jobs has edged up.
Things to do. Woolly Hollow State Park, a protected area, is a short drive away and is the easiest outing from town. Greers Ferry Lake, a reservoir, is a longer drive, as is Bridal Veil Falls, a waterfall, which makes a good day out for those who enjoy time by the water.
