Tontitown city, AR in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Tontitown city is a mid-size town in Arkansas, with 5,739 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #63 of 625 ranked by population — larger than 90% of them. The median age here is 41 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 Tontitown city earn a median of $80,987 a year, 3.1% above the national figure of $78,538 and 64% above 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 6.7% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Tontitown city is valued at $394,200, 29.9% above the national figure and 206% above the $128,900 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,219 a month, 13.3% below the national figure, or roughly $14,628 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 18.1% 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 4.9×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 80.8% 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. 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.
