What it’s like
The place. Strawberry is a very small town in Lawrence County, Arkansas, and most of the homes in it are lived in by their owners. Household incomes run a little below the county's, and few adults hold a four-year degree. Winters are cool, with a little snow, and summers are hot, with plenty of rain through the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, the building trades and retail also employing many. Across Lawrence County, some of the largest workplaces are the Lawrence County School District, Williams Baptist University and Lawrence Memorial Hospital. Only a small number of people work from home, and the county has seen jobs grow over the past year.
Things to do. The Strawberry River is a short drive away and is the nearest spot for time by the water. A longer drive brings you to Lake Charles State Park, a protected area, and to the Spring River. Powhatan Historic State Park, a museum, is also a longer drive away.

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