Mayflower city, AR in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Mayflower city is a small town in Arkansas, with 2,802 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #116 of 625 ranked by population — larger than 81% of them. The median age here is 45 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 Mayflower city earn a median of $70,938 a year, 9.7% below the national figure of $78,538 and 44% above the $49,306 median for the 209 Arkansas cities we cover. Median household income counts every pre-tax dollar arriving at an address — wages, self-employment, Social Security, pensions, interest and public assistance — for everyone living there, so multi-earner households pull the figure up even where individual pay is modest. Poverty reaches 7.9% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Mayflower city is valued at $163,900, 46% below the national figure and 27% above the $128,900 peer median, while median gross rent runs $984 a month, 30% below the national figure, or roughly $11,808 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 16.6% 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 2.3×, 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. 80.2% 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.
