What it’s like
The place. Yarnell is a very small community in Yavapai County, with far fewer people than most towns. Household incomes in town run well below the county's, and fewer adults hold a four-year degree than you might find in larger places. Winters are cool, with little or no snow, and summers get very hot, with a modest amount of rain and melted snow through the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, in professional and business services, and in restaurants, hotels and entertainment. Unemployment across Yavapai County is higher than it was a year ago, and the county has a few fewer jobs than the year before. Among the largest workplaces across the county are Yavapai Regional Medical Center, Yavapai College and the Humboldt Unified School District.
Things to do. Granite Mountain Hotshots Memorial State Park, a protected area, lies in or beside town. A longer drive away are Sharlot Hall Museum, a museum, and Lynx Lake, a lake that makes a change of scene from the dry country around Yarnell.
