Bismarck real estate is some of the most expensive in Arkansas, although Bismarck house values don't compare to the most expensive real estate in the U.S.

One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 31.31% of the workforce. While this number may seem small overall, as a fraction of the total workforce this is high compared to the rest of the county. These workers are often telecommuters who work in knowledge-based, white-collar professions. For example, Silicon Valley has large numbers of people who telecommute. Other at-home workers may be self-employed people who operate small businesses out of their homes.

Bismarck is a good choice for families with children because of several factors. Many other families with children live here, making it a place where both parents and children are more likely to develop social ties with other families. The town’s good public school district and large population of college-educated adults provide an environment conducive to academic success. Many people own their own single-family homes, providing areas for children to play and stability in the community. Finally, Bismarck’s overall crime rate ranks among the lowest in the country, making it one of the safest places to raise a family.

It is a fairly quiet town because there are relatively few of those groups of people who have a tendency to be noisy. (Children, for example, often can't help themselves from being noisy, and being parents ourselves, we know!) Bismarck has relatively few families with children living at home, and is quieter because of it. Renters and college students, for their own reasons, can also be noisy. Bismarck has few renters and college students. But the biggest reason it is quieter in Bismarck than in most places in America, is that there are just simply fewer people living here. If you think trees make good neighbors, Bismarck may be for you.

One downside of living in Bismarck is that it can take a long time to commute to work. In Bismarck, the average commute to work is 33.27 minutes, which is quite a bit higher than the national average.

As is often the case in a small town, Bismarck doesn't have a public transportation system that people use for their commute.

In terms of college education, Bismarck is somewhat better educated than the 21.84% who have a 4-year degree or higher in the typical US community: 28.28% of adults 25 and older in the town have at least a bachelor's degree.

The per capita income in Bismarck in 2022 was $32,592, which is wealthy relative to Arkansas, and middle income relative to the rest of the US. This equates to an annual income of $130,368 for a family of four. However, Bismarck contains both very wealthy and poor people as well.
