What it’s like
The place. Uriah is a very small community in Monroe County, Alabama, with a population that makes it one of the smaller places in the state. Residents are older on the whole than in most of the country, so it is a quiet place where many people have lived for a long time. Winters are mild and rarely bring snow, summers run hot, and the rainfall through the year is generous.
Work. People who live in Uriah work mostly in manufacturing, in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, and in the building trades. Across Monroe County, some of the largest workplaces are Alabama River Cellulose, Monroe County Schools and Monroe County Hospital. Unemployment across the county is a little higher than it was a year ago, while the number of jobs has edged up slightly.
Things to do. Little River State Forest, a protected area, is a short drive away and is the nearest place to spend time outdoors. A longer drive brings you to the Alabama River, one of the area's major rivers, and to Fort Sinquefield, a fort tied to the region's early history. Homes in town are valued well below what is typical for much of the country, and incomes across the county run low.

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