Madison County, AR Property Records & Statistics
Madison County has a median rent of $638.50, below the Arkansas median of $686 and well under the national median of $840.25. Renting is also less common here than elsewhere: renter-occupied housing makes up only 10% of occupied homes, compared with 22.52% in the state and 21.81% nationally, so owner-occupied homes dominate the local market.
The median home value is $139,100, which is above the state's $102,800 but below the national figure of $173,750. The median property tax rate of 0.44% is lower than both the state rate of 0.55% and the national rate of 0.74%, so owners pay comparatively little in annual taxes relative to what their homes are worth.
Median household income in Madison County is $61,463.50, well above the state median of $49,346 and closer to the national median of $65,108. The unemployment rate of 2.52% is below the state rate of 2.69% and the national rate of 2.87%.
Taken together, the figures describe a county with affordable rents, home values higher than the state average, light property taxes, strong incomes by Arkansas standards, and a small rental market. For buyers, the $139,100 median value paired with the 0.44% tax rate keeps carrying costs low, while tenants may find fewer rental options than in most of the state.
