What it’s like

The place. Scranton is a very small city in Logan County, Arkansas, home to few people. Fewer adults here hold a four-year degree than is typical across the country, and the daily trip to work is short. Winters are cool, with January the coldest month and lows below freezing, and only a little snow. Summers turn hot, and rain falls through the year.

Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, shops and professional and business services also employing many. Across Logan County, some of the largest workplaces are Rockline Industries-Booneville, American Axle & Manufacturing and the Booneville School District. Unemployment in the county has eased compared with a year earlier, though the county had slightly fewer jobs last year than the year before.

Things to do. For time outdoors, Lake Dardanelle is a lake a longer drive away, and Mount Magazine State Park, a protected area, is also a longer drive. Big Piney Creek is a river that is likewise a longer drive from town.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Scranton’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 Logan County.
