Clarksville, AR population, income and ZIP codes

Clarksville city is a mid-size town in Arkansas, with 9,500 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #41 of 625 ranked by population — larger than 93% of them. The median age here is 34.5 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. Places under 65,000 residents only appear in the five-year release, never the one-year file, so these values pool sixty months of responses and lag the current year by design.

Households in Clarksville city earn a median of $37,848 a year, 51.8% below the national figure of $78,538 and 23% below the $49,306 median for the 209 Arkansas cities we cover. Median household income counts every pre-tax dollar arriving at an address — wages, self-employment, Social Security, pensions, interest and public assistance — for everyone living there, so multi-earner households pull the figure up even where individual pay is modest. Poverty reaches 24.4% of residents here, well above the 12.4% national rate, which is the single clearest signal in this dataset that median income here is carried by a narrow band of households.

The typical owner-occupied home in Clarksville city is valued at $159,700, 47.4% below the national figure and 24% above the $128,900 peer median, while median gross rent runs $754 a month, 46.4% below the national figure, or roughly $9,048 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 23.9% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is within the standard affordability guideline. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 4.2×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 49.3% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
