Lake Hamilton CDP, AR in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Lake Hamilton CDP is a small town in Arkansas, with 1,912 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #151 of 625 ranked by population — larger than 75% of them. The median age here is 41.7 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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 Lake Hamilton CDP earn a median of $87,870 a year, 11.9% above the national figure of $78,538 and 78% 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 7.7% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Lake Hamilton CDP is valued at $411,000, 35.5% above the national figure and 219% above the $128,900 peer median, while median gross rent runs $806 a month, 42.7% below the national figure, or roughly $9,672 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 11% 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 4.7×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 77.1% 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.
Every value on this page is published directly by the Census for this area — nothing is modelled or interpolated. 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.
