What it’s like
The place. Tuckerman is a small city in Jackson County, Arkansas, where residents tend to be somewhat older than in many places. Household incomes run a little above the county's, though a noticeable share of people live below the poverty line, and homes cost less than in much of the country. Winters are cool and seldom snowy, summers are hot, and the year brings plenty of rain.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, with others in manufacturing, shops, and farming, forestry and mining. Across Jackson County, some of the largest workplaces are Shearer's Foods, which makes potato chips, Arkansas Steel Associates, and Arkansas State University-Newport. Fewer adults here hold a four-year degree than in many places, most people travel a fair way to work, and few work from home. Jobs across the county have slipped slightly over the past year, though unemployment has eased from a year earlier.
Things to do. Jacksonport State Park, a museum, is a short drive away. Farther afield, Lake Charles State Park is a protected area, and Spring River is one of the rivers within a longer drive. Powhatan Historic State Park, another museum, is also a longer drive away.
