What it’s like
The place. Weiner is a very small city in Poinsett County, Arkansas, where most homes are lived in by their owners. Household incomes run higher than across the county, though a share of residents still live below the poverty line. Winters are cool, with January the coldest month, summers are warm, and the year brings a good deal of rain and melted snow.
Work. Residents work mostly in farming, forestry and mining, manufacturing, shops, and professional and business services, and few work from home. Among the largest workplaces across Poinsett County are the Harrisburg School District, Walmart and Greenway Equipment Weiner Coorporate. Unemployment across the county is lower than it was a year earlier, and the county has added jobs over the past year.
Things to do. Bayou De View, a river, is a short drive away and is the closest of the nearby outdoor spots. A longer drive brings you to Lake Poinsett State Park, a protected area, and to Jacksonport State Park, which is a museum. Each makes a fair day trip from town.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Weiner’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 Poinsett County and the Jonesboro, AR metro.
