Gentry city, AR in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Gentry city is a small town in Arkansas, with 4,069 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #83 of 625 ranked by population — larger than 86% of them. The median age here is 38.7 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger 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 Gentry city earn a median of $65,325 a year, 16.8% below the national figure of $78,538 and 32% 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 8.4% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Gentry city is valued at $162,400, 46.5% below the national figure and 26% above the $128,900 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,092 a month, 22.3% below the national figure, or roughly $13,104 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 20.1% 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 2.5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 68% 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.
