What it’s like

The place. Tombstone is a small city in Cochise County, Arizona, and its residents are older than in most American towns. Most homes are lived in by their owners, though a good number of households live below the poverty line, and fewer adults hold a four-year degree than is typical across the country. Winters are mild and brief, with little snow, while summers are hot and the rain and melted snow that fall over a year are modest.

Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, in government, in shops and in professional and business services. Across Cochise County, the largest workplaces include the county government, Cochise County Community College District and the Sierra Vista Unified School District. Unemployment across the county is higher than a year ago, and the number of jobs has slipped slightly.

Things to do. In town, the Tombstone Courthouse State Historic Park is a protected historic site, and the Bird Cage Theatre is a museum. Schieffelin Hall, a theatre, is also in or beside town. A short drive away, the San Pedro Riparian National Conservation Area offers protected land along a river.
