Greenbrier city, AR in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Greenbrier city is a mid-size town in Arkansas, with 5,875 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #61 of 625 ranked by population — larger than 90% of them. The median age here is 32 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 Greenbrier city earn a median of $59,099 a year, 24.8% below the national figure of $78,538 and 20% 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 7.3% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Greenbrier city is valued at $171,100, 43.6% below the national figure and 33% above the $128,900 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,269 a month, 9.7% below the national figure, or roughly $15,228 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 25.8% 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 2.9×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 72.7% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
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.
