Humphrey, AR population, income and ZIP codes

Humphrey city is a very small community in Arkansas, with 184 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #458 of 625 ranked by population — larger than 26% of them. The median age here is 53.3 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 Humphrey city earn a median of $21,406 a year, 72.7% below the national figure of $78,538 and 57% below the $49,306 median for the 209 Arkansas cities we cover. Household income here is measured before tax and pooled across everyone at the address, which is why it reads higher than typical individual earnings in the same area. Poverty reaches 25.5% 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 Humphrey city is valued at $63,200, 79.2% below the national figure and 51% below the $128,900 peer median, while median gross rent runs $513 a month, 63.5% below the national figure, or roughly $6,156 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 28.8% 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 3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 56.4% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

A median age of 53.3 puts Humphrey city well into retirement-weighted territory, which pulls median household income down even where household wealth is high, because retirement draws are counted differently from wages. With 184 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Humphrey 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.
