What it’s like
The place. Winfield is a small city in Marion County, Alabama, where most homes are lived in by their owners and typical home values sit at a modest level. Incomes across the county run on the lower side, and a fair number of residents live below the poverty line. Few adults hold a four-year degree, and very few work from home.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by manufacturing, banks and insurance, and shops. The largest workplaces in Winfield include Tiffin Motorhomes Inc. Winfield, which assembles motor homes, along with Walmart and King Kutter, a maker of farm tractors and attachments. Across the county, there were somewhat fewer jobs last year than the year before, and unemployment is a little higher than it was a year ago.
Things to do. Several outdoor places lie a longer drive away. The Buttahatchee River is a river good for time on the water, while Natural Bridge Park and Dismals Canyon are both protected areas for walking and seeing the natural landscape. Winters are cool with hardly any snow, summers are hot, and the year is a wet one.

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