Newton County, AR Property Records & Statistics
Newton County stands out for its home values. The median home value is $159,900, well above the Arkansas median of $102,800 and approaching the national median of $173,750. Even so, the median rent of $569 is lower than both the state figure of $686 and the national figure of $840.25.
Property taxes are modest. The county's median rate of 0.43% sits below the state rate of 0.55% and the national rate of 0.74%, so higher-priced homes still come with a relatively light annual tax bill. Renter-occupied housing accounts for 20.08% of homes, a little under the state share of 22.52% and the national share of 21.81%.
Median household income is $52,563, above the state figure of $49,346 but under the national figure of $65,108. Employment is a clear strength: the unemployment rate of 0.95% is far below the state rate of 2.69% and the national rate of 2.87%.
Taken together, the numbers describe a county where owning is more common than renting, home prices are high for Arkansas, taxes are low, and very few residents are out of work. These comparisons matter for buyers, sellers, and investors, because housing costs, taxes, and local earnings together shape how affordable it is to own or rent a home in the county and how steady property values are likely to remain over time.
