Grubbs city, AR in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Grubbs city is a very small community in Arkansas, with 363 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #354 of 625 ranked by population — larger than 43% of them. The median age here is 63 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 Grubbs city earn a median of $75,625 a year, 3.7% below the national figure of $78,538 and 53% above the $49,306 median for the 209 Arkansas cities we cover. This figure covers the household, not the worker: two people on ordinary wages at one address outrank a single professional in the same table. Poverty reaches 13.5% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Grubbs city is valued at not published, while median gross rent runs not published a month. 79.4% 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.
A median age of 63 puts Grubbs city well into retirement-weighted territory, which pulls median household income down even where household wealth is high, because retirement draws are counted differently from wages. With 363 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Grubbs city against its county rather than against national figures.
The Census withheld home value, gross rent for Grubbs city because the sample was too thin to publish at this geography. Those values were suppressed at the source, not lost in our dataset, and we do not model a replacement. Everything else on this page comes straight from the ACS 2019-2023 ACS 5-year tables.
