Stuttgart city, AR in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Stuttgart city is a mid-size town in Arkansas, with 8,060 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #48 of 625 ranked by population — larger than 92% of them. The median age here is 37.6 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger 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 Stuttgart city earn a median of $58,906 a year, 25% below the national figure of $78,538 and 19% 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 16.2% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Stuttgart city is valued at $150,600, 50.4% below the national figure and 17% above the $128,900 peer median, while median gross rent runs $828 a month, 41.1% below the national figure, or roughly $9,936 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 16.9% 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 2.6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 58.9% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
