Hartman city, AR in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Hartman city is a very small community in Arkansas, with 533 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #284 of 625 ranked by population — larger than 54% of them. The median age here is 36.2 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 Hartman city earn a median of $43,125 a year, 45.1% below the national figure of $78,538 and 13% below 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 32.1% of residents here, well above the 12.4% national rate, which is the single clearest signal in this dataset that median income here is carried by a narrow band of households.
The typical owner-occupied home in Hartman city is valued at $122,400, 59.7% below the national figure and 5% below the $128,900 peer median, while median gross rent runs $825 a month, 41.3% below the national figure, or roughly $9,900 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 23% 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 2.8×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 70.9% 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.
With 533 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Hartman city against its county rather than against national figures.
