Rockwell CDP, AR in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Rockwell CDP is a small town in Arkansas, with 3,921 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #85 of 625 ranked by population — larger than 86% of them. The median age here is 40.4 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 Rockwell CDP earn a median of $61,452 a year, 21.8% below the national figure of $78,538 and 25% above 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 16% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Rockwell CDP is valued at $255,700, 15.7% below the national figure and 98% above the $128,900 peer median, while median gross rent runs $980 a month, 30.3% below the national figure, or roughly $11,760 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 19.1% 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 4.2×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 74.3% 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.

All values below were released by the Census for this exact geography, with no gap-filling on our side. 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.
