Viola town, AR in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Viola town is a very small community in Arkansas, with 337 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #364 of 625 ranked by population — larger than 41% of them. The median age here is 31.3 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. 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 Viola town earn a median of $32,500 a year, 58.6% below the national figure of $78,538 and 34% below 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 18.1% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Viola town is valued at $106,300, 65% below the national figure and 18% below the $128,900 peer median, while median gross rent runs $632 a month, 55% below the national figure, or roughly $7,584 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 23.3% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is within the standard affordability guideline. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 3.3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 69.8% 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.
