Lynn town, AR in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Lynn town 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 #459 of 625 ranked by population — larger than 26% of them. The median age here is 48.9 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 Lynn town earn a median of $50,250 a year, 36% below the national figure of $78,538 and within a couple of points of 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 9.8% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Lynn town is valued at $90,800, 70.1% below the national figure and 30% below the $128,900 peer median, while median gross rent runs $938 a month, 33.3% below the national figure, or roughly $11,256 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 22.4% 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 1.8×, 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. 82.8% 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 184 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Lynn town against its county rather than against national figures.
