About Alicia

Alicia is a tiny town located in the state of Arkansas. With a population of 557 people and just one neighborhood, Alicia is the 233rd largest community in Arkansas.

When you are in Alicia, you'll notice that it is more blue-collar than most other communities in America. 52.6% of Alicia's employed work in blue-collar jobs, while America averages only 24.7% that do. Overall, Alicia is a town of production and manufacturing workers, sales and office workers, and managers. There are especially a lot of people living in Alicia who work in farm management (10.26%), office and administrative support jobs (8.12%), and sales jobs (7.27%).

Another important characteristic of Alicia is that a lot of people work in agricultural jobs, especially compared to most other communities in America, and there are quite a number of farms in town.

One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their homes - 8.55% of the workforce. While this number may seem small overall, as a fraction of the total workforce this is high compared to the rest of the county. These workers are often telecommuters who work in knowledge-based, white-collar professions. For example, Silicon Valley has large numbers of people who telecommute. Other at-home workers may be self-employed people who operate small businesses out of their homes.

Alicia is very much a car-oriented town. This is because the population of Alicia isn't large enough or dense enough to support an extensive public transit system. It has a lot of rural roads, and the distance between houses can be quite large, which together tends to discourage walking and bicycling to work. 100% of residents commute to work in their own car (and the drive is typically to a job out of town). People also tend to drive out of town for other services as well, such as shopping, doctors appointments, and more.

Being a small town, Alicia does not have a public transit system used by locals to get to and from work.
