Scott County, AR

Waldron, Arkansas has about 3,344 people. That count is a 2020–2024 Census average, not a headcount from one day.

A typical home is worth about $105,300.

HUD's fair-market rent for a 2-bedroom in Scott County is $909 a month. That is the county number, not an apartment listing in Waldron. It runs from October 2026 through September 2027.

Arkansas's prices sit at 86.9 when the U.S. average is 100. This place is not in a metro area with its own index, so this is the state number from BEA for 2024.

Arkansas taxes wages. A typical combined sales tax is 9.5% as of January 1, 2026. That mix is statewide, not Waldron's exact store tax.

In July 2026, a typical Arkansas home paid 14.33¢ per kilowatt-hour. That is a state average from EIA, not Waldron's bill.

EIA did not publish a 2025 all-grades gas price for Arkansas in the table we use.
