What it’s like
The place. Webb is a small town in Houston County, Alabama, where most homes are lived in by their owners and typical home values are modest. Winters are mild, with little or no snow, and summers run hot. Rain falls plentifully through the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, the building trades and professional and business services also employing many. Few people work from home, and relatively few adults hold a four-year degree. Among the largest workplaces across Houston County are Southeast Health Medical Center, Flowers Hospital and Dothan City Schools.
Things to do. A short drive away, the Dothan Opera House is a theatre and the Wiregrass Museum of Art is a museum. For time outdoors, the Choctawhatchee River is a longer drive away, as is Chattahoochee State Park, a protected area.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Webb’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.
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 Houston County and the Dothan, AL metro.
