About Mulberry

a very small town
located in the state of
Arkansas.
With a population of
4,203 people
and
just one neighborhood,
Mulberry is the
88th
largest community in

Mulberry is generally considered
to be a blue-collar town. 50.0%
of the Mulberry workforce is

people living in Mulberry who work
in office and administrative support jobs (11.05%),

Mulberry is very much a
car-oriented town.
This is because the population of Mulberry
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. 96.59%
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,
Mulberry does not have a public
transit system used by locals to get to and from work.
