Garfield, Arkansas, and weight control


Garfield is in Benton County, in the northwest corner of the state, with Oklahoma to the west and Missouri to the north.

In 2010, Garfield had 502 residents. Its estimated 2018 population was 576. Of the 490 residents in the 2000 census, 97.35% were white. By an on-line calculator, that equals 477.015 people, but that .015 might have been from a Dr. Brown constructing a cyborg for his latest DeLorean.

Garfield has a negative in its population: For every 100 women older than 18, there were 104.7 men. That .7 man might have been working in Dr. Brown’s shop.

“About 9.8% of families and 10.3% of the population were below the poverty line, including 9.0% of those under age 18 and 3.8% of those age 65 or over,” Wikipedia says. Old folks are making out OK.


Satellite photo shows Al’s Country Junque, with out-of-focus photos, and a place called Mucho Flava. Pictures from the restaurant definitely are not of Tex-Mex food. But then, if you eat at any Mexican restaurant outside Texas, it ain’t Tex-Mex.

A Wikipedia link listed as “Welcome to Garfield” from the City of Garfield, brought a Chinese link to a diet program. We know China’s main method right now of keeping weights down in the United States.
