Sherwood city, AR in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Sherwood city is a small city in Arkansas, with 32,915 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #13 of 625 ranked by population — larger than 98% of them. The median age here is 39.9 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older profile than the country as a whole. Places under 65,000 residents only appear in the five-year release, never the one-year file, so these values pool sixty months of responses and lag the current year by design.
Households in Sherwood city earn a median of $79,157 a year, essentially level with the national figure of $78,538 and 61% 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 9.5% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Sherwood city is valued at $190,900, 37.1% below the national figure and 48% above the $128,900 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,011 a month, 28.1% below the national figure, or roughly $12,132 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 15.3% 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 2.4×, 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. 71.1% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Rent is reported gross — contract rent plus tenant-paid utilities — which is why it runs above the advertised price on a listing for the same unit.
