Ouachita County, AR Property Records & Statistics

Ouachita County's median rent is $724, a little above the Arkansas median of $686 but still below the national median of $840.25. Renter-occupied housing is just 14.38% of homes, compared with 22.52% in the state and 21.81% nationally, so the county leans heavily toward homeownership.

The median home value is $90,900, lower than the state median of $102,800 and far below the national median of $173,750. The median property tax rate of 0.55% matches the state rate of 0.55% and is under the national rate of 0.74%.

Median household income is $50,341, slightly above the state figure of $49,346 and below the national figure of $65,108. The unemployment rate of 3.61% is higher than both the state rate of 2.69% and the national rate of 2.87%.

These figures suggest inexpensive homes with taxes in line with the rest of Arkansas, rents that run slightly higher than the state median, and a job market that is tighter than average. 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. Reviewing the figures side by side helps show whether the county is more or less expensive than the rest of Arkansas and the nation as a whole, and where the pressure on household budgets is most likely to appear in everyday life.
