Farmington city, AR in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Farmington city is a mid-size town in Arkansas, with 8,469 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #45 of 625 ranked by population — larger than 92% of them. The median age here is 32.9 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. 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 Farmington city earn a median of $88,541 a year, 12.7% above the national figure of $78,538 and 80% above the $49,306 median for the 209 Arkansas cities we cover. The median is the midpoint household, not an average, so a handful of very high earners cannot drag it upward the way they distort a mean. Poverty reaches 3% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Farmington city is valued at $249,900, 17.6% below the national figure and 94% above the $128,900 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,223 a month, 13% below the national figure, or roughly $14,676 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 16.6% 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 2.8×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 73.7% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. 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.
