What it’s like
The place. Vilonia is a small city in Faulkner County, Arkansas, with a quiet, residential feel. Incomes here run a little below what a typical household in the county brings in, and rents are modest, with homes priced in the middle range. Winters are cool and bring very little snow, while summers get hot, and rain falls through much of the year.
Work. Most residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, in the building trades, or in manufacturing. Across Faulkner County, some of the largest workplaces are the University of Central Arkansas, Conway Regional Medical Center and the Conway School District. Joblessness in the county is lower than it was a year ago, and the number of jobs has edged up.
Things to do. Bayou Meto, a river, is a short drive away. Farther afield, Lake Conway is a longer drive, as is the Clinton Presidential Center, a museum in Little Rock. Pinnacle Mountain State Park, a protected area, is also a longer drive.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Vilonia’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively high. It is meant for planning, not a substitute for a local risk assessment or a flood map: FEMA’s index.
