Hampton city, AR in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Hampton city is a small town in Arkansas, with 1,185 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #197 of 625 ranked by population — larger than 68% of them. The median age here is 38.1 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 Hampton city earn a median of $48,182 a year, 38.7% below the national figure of $78,538 and within a couple of points of 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 12.4% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Hampton city is valued at $86,300, 71.6% below the national figure and 33% below the $128,900 peer median, while median gross rent runs $950 a month, 32.4% below the national figure, or roughly $11,400 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 23.7% 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 1.8×, 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. 68.1% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

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.
