Monroe County, AR Property Records & Statistics
Monroe County has a median rent of $512, far below the Arkansas median of $686 and the national median of $840.25. Renter-occupied housing accounts for 35.63% of occupied homes, well above the state share of 22.52% and the national share of 21.81%, so renting is common even though rents are low.
The median home value is $85,550, below the state median of $102,800 and less than half the national median of $173,750. The county's median property tax rate of 0.55% matches the state rate of 0.55% and sits under the national rate of 0.74%, so owners pay a typical Arkansas rate on some of the state's most affordable homes.
Median household income is $48,545, a little under the state median of $49,346 and well below the national median of $65,108. The unemployment rate of 2.98% is slightly above the state rate of 2.69% and the national rate of 2.87%.
Altogether, the figures describe an inexpensive housing market with low rents, low home values, a large share of renters, and incomes close to the state level. Unemployment runs just above both benchmarks, so affordability is a strength while job conditions are a mild concern. Home values near $85,550 with a 0.55% tax rate keep ownership costs low, and renters paying $512 a month benefit from some of the more affordable rents in the comparison.
