Corning city, AR in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Corning city is a small town in Arkansas, with 3,169 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #103 of 625 ranked by population — larger than 83% of them. The median age here is 39.7 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older profile than the country as a whole. At this population the ACS sample is small, so the margin of error around every dollar figure below is wide — treat the numbers as a band, not a point, and expect them to move between annual releases without the place itself changing.

Households in Corning city earn a median of $44,197 a year, 43.7% below the national figure of $78,538 and 10% below the $49,306 median for the 209 Arkansas cities we cover. Household income here is measured before tax and pooled across everyone at the address, which is why it reads higher than typical individual earnings in the same area. Poverty reaches 17.5% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Corning city is valued at $85,800, 71.7% below the national figure and 33% below the $128,900 peer median, while median gross rent runs $713 a month, 49.3% below the national figure, or roughly $8,556 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 19.4% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is cheap relative to what people here earn. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 1.9×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so purchase prices are unusually low against local pay, the pattern in places where supply is plentiful and wage growth has been flat. 68.5% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

All values below were released by the Census for this exact geography, with no gap-filling on our side. Small-area estimates still carry wider margins of error than state or national figures, so check the linked ACS tables before relying on them for lending, appraisal or legal work.
