Holly Grove city, AR in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Holly Grove city is a very small community in Arkansas, with 532 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #285 of 625 ranked by population — larger than 54% 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 Holly Grove city earn a median of $38,750 a year, 50.7% below the national figure of $78,538 and 21% below 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 35.5% 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 Holly Grove city is valued at $81,700, 73.1% below the national figure and 37% below the $128,900 peer median, while median gross rent runs $431 a month, 69.3% below the national figure, or roughly $5,172 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 13.3% 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 2.1×, 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. 61.9% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. 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.
