Havana, AR population, income and ZIP codes

Havana city is a very small community in Arkansas, with 320 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #376 of 625 ranked by population — larger than 39% of them. The median age here is 33.4 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 Havana city earn a median of $52,917 a year, 32.6% below the national figure of $78,538 and 7% 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 37.2% 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 Havana city is valued at $81,900, 73% below the national figure and 36% below the $128,900 peer median, while median gross rent runs $718 a month, 48.9% below the national figure, or roughly $8,616 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 16.3% 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 1.5×, 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. 83.5% 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. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

With 320 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Havana city against its county rather than against national figures.
