What it’s like
The place. Sulligent is a small town in Lamar County, Alabama, where most people know one another and daily life moves at an unhurried pace. Homes here cost less than in much of the country, and incomes in the county are modest. Winters are mild and mostly free of snow, summers run hot, and rain falls plentifully through the year.
Work. Many residents work in manufacturing, in schools, hospitals and social care, or in shops. Across Lamar County, some of the largest workplaces are Bolzoni Auramo, which runs machine shops, Marathon Equipment, which makes commercial trash compactors, and Lamar County Schools. Few adults here hold a four-year degree, most commutes are short, and relatively few people work from home. Unemployment in the county has risen a little over the past year, and there are somewhat fewer jobs than there were the year before.
Things to do. Time outdoors is mostly a matter of water, though each of these places is a longer drive away. Aberdeen Lake is a reservoir suited to a day by the shore, and Boguefala Creek is a river for a quiet afternoon. Cotton Gin Port, an archaeological site, is also a longer drive away and gives a look at the area's earlier history.

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

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 Lamar County.
