Gravette city, AR in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Gravette city is a small town in Arkansas, with 3,629 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #93 of 625 ranked by population — larger than 85% 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. 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 Gravette city earn a median of $65,014 a year, 17.2% below the national figure of $78,538 and 32% above 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 5.5% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Gravette city is valued at $189,100, 37.7% below the national figure and 47% above the $128,900 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,028 a month, 26.9% below the national figure, or roughly $12,336 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 19% 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 2.9×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 65.6% 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.
Every value on this page is published directly by the Census for this area — nothing is modelled or interpolated. 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.
