The median home value is $65,000, compared with $102,800 statewide and $173,750 nationally, which points to a market where entry prices are low even by state standards.
Property taxes are light as well. The county's median property tax rate of 0.53% sits just below the state rate of 0.55% and clearly below the national rate of 0.74%. Combined with modest home values, the annual tax bill on a typical home is small.
Incomes are a bright spot. The median household income is $70,119, higher than both the Arkansas figure of $49,346 and the national figure of $65,108. That gap between income and housing cost helps explain why homeownership dominates here. The unemployment rate is 2.43%, lower than the state's 2.69% and the national 2.87%, suggesting steady local employment.
Only 8.43% of housing in the county is renter-occupied, far below 22.52% in Arkansas and 21.81% nationally. Taken together, the figures describe a low-cost, low-tax, high-income county with a stable job market. In practice, most residents own their homes, and rental options are limited compared with other parts of the state.
