Guy, AR population, income and ZIP codes

Guy city is a very small community in Arkansas, with 592 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #273 of 625 ranked by population — larger than 56% of them. The median age here is 45.3 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 Guy city earn a median of $60,521 a year, 22.9% below the national figure of $78,538 and 23% 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 18.4% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Guy city is valued at $199,000, 34.4% below the national figure and 54% above the $128,900 peer median, while median gross rent runs $900 a month, 36% below the national figure, or roughly $10,800 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 17.8% 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 3.3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 80.8% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, an owner-dominated market where rental listings are scarce and rent medians rest on a thin sample. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

With 592 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Guy city against its county rather than against national figures.

No figure on this page is estimated by us; each one comes straight from the published ACS tables for this area. 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.
