Vilonia city, AR in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Vilonia city is a small town in Arkansas, with 4,405 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #76 of 625 ranked by population — larger than 87% of them. The median age here is 34.8 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger 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 Vilonia city earn a median of $82,753 a year, 5.4% above the national figure of $78,538 and 68% 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 10.7% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Vilonia city is valued at $210,700, 30.6% below the national figure and 63% above the $128,900 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,032 a month, 26.6% below the national figure, or roughly $12,384 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 15% 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 2.5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 83.5% 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.

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.
