Desha County: 9,984 residents (2025) in 7 incorporated places. Small-town survey numbers are uncertain, so here is Desha County as a whole: the median household income is $37,662 and the median age is 41.6. Broadband reaches 78.0% of homes, and 18.6% of households are online only through a phone plan. Homeowners are 56.8% of households.
Dumas’ small businesses and what their websites need
The Census counted 144 establishments with employees in 2023 in ZIP code 71639, which includes Dumas and its surroundings. Some of the local businesses in that count:
- Site preparation contractors (5): the equipment you run, the kinds of jobs you take and a contact form for builders and owners.
- Hotels and motels (3): rooms, photos, location and a contact form, so travelers can compare you outside the booking apps.
- Quick-service restaurants (8): the menu with prices, hours and the closest cross streets.
- Grocery stores (3): hours, weekly specials and departments.
Across Desha County, County Business Patterns counted 270 employer establishments in 2023, and the Nonemployer Statistics add 780 businesses with no payroll, most of them self-employed owners. Compared with the U.S. as a whole, Desha County leans toward religious, civic and membership organizations (21 establishments, 2.1 times the national share). For them, members and newcomers look for schedules and contacts, and the website should show meeting times, programs, location and how to get involved. Among Dumas residents who work, the largest fields are education, health care and social assistance (21.0%) and construction (11.1%). Most of these businesses are small, and the website does the job a front desk would do in a bigger company.

When Dumas customers need you: the seasons
The nearest NOAA station with 1991-2020 climate normals, Dumas, is 2.7 miles from Dumas. It records an average high of 92°F in July and an average low of 35°F in January. About 51 inches of rain and melted snow fall in a normal year, most of it in April. The high reaches 90°F or more on about 74 days a year, and the low falls to freezing or below on about 42 days.
