What it’s like
The place. Winslow is a very small city in Washington County, Arkansas, the kind of place where most people know one another by name. Homes here are priced somewhat above what Washington County's household incomes would comfortably suggest, so a house is a real commitment even in a town this size. Winters are cold but short, summers run hot, and rain and melted snow add up to a fairly wet year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with shops, manufacturing, and restaurants and hotels also employing many people. Across Washington County, the biggest workplaces include the University of Arkansas, the Springdale School District and Washington Regional Medical Center. The county has been adding jobs, and unemployment there is lower than it was a year ago. A typical commute is on the longer side, so many people spend a good part of the day getting to work.
Things to do. Devil's Den State Park and Lake Fort Smith State Park are both protected natural areas a short drive away, good for walking and time outdoors. The Illinois River is also a short drive away, and the White River is a longer trip for those who want to go farther. Prairie Grove Battlefield State Park, an archaeological site, is a longer drive and a worthwhile stop for anyone interested in the area's history.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Winslow’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 Washington County and the Fayetteville-Springdale-Rogers, AR metro.
