Gibson CDP, AR in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Gibson CDP is a small town in Arkansas, with 4,141 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #81 of 625 ranked by population — larger than 87% of them. The median age here is 38.4 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 Gibson CDP earn a median of $62,194 a year, 20.8% below the national figure of $78,538 and 26% above 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 8.2% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Gibson CDP is valued at $150,300, 50.5% below the national figure and 17% above the $128,900 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,321 a month, 6% below the national figure, or roughly $15,852 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 25.5% 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 2.4×, 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. 76.9% 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.
