De Valls Bluff city, AR in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
De Valls Bluff city is a very small community in Arkansas, with 514 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #294 of 625 ranked by population — larger than 53% of them. The median age here is 54.7 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 De Valls Bluff city earn a median of $28,750 a year, 63.4% below the national figure of $78,538 and 42% 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 20.4% 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 De Valls Bluff city is valued at not published, while median gross rent runs $579 a month, 58.8% below the national figure, or roughly $6,948 across a full year.

Rent is reported gross — contract rent plus tenant-paid utilities — which is why it runs above the advertised price on a listing for the same unit.
