What these numbers say together

NCES lists 2 schools serving the area, 2 non-charter. 3 colleges and universities serve the area, with median in-state tuition of $3,885. 28% of returns claim the Earned Income Tax Credit (IRS), a higher share than most ZIPs. Local establishments report average pay of $34,156 per worker (Census ZBP) — below the US average. BLS QCEW reports average annual pay of $48,710 per worker, roughly 26% below the US average. FEMA has issued 26 federal disaster declarations affecting this ZIP since 1979 — a high-frequency exposure profile. Annual precipitation averages 56.6" — a wet-climate ZCTA per NOAA's 1991–2020 Normals. County Health Rankings reports 13,042 years of potential life lost per 100,000 (2025) — well above the national county median. Per USDA's Food Environment Atlas, 54.2% of residents in this county live more than 1 mile (urban) or 10 miles (rural) from the nearest supermarket — a deep food-access gap. Arkansas levies a flat state income tax (top rate 3.90%); a household at the local median AGI of $44,924 would pay roughly $1,051/year before deductions. IRS migration data (2022-2023) shows a net loss of 55 residents (23 households) — the ZIP's primary county is shrinking. Healthcare access is the area's quieter strength; school options sit on the lighter side, so families may find themselves looking at districts a few ZIPs over. Notable: median household income $47,000, fair market rent of $900 for a two-bedroom, and a 21.8% poverty rate (well above the ~12% US average). Every figure on this page links to its underlying federal dataset with a retrieval date so you can audit the freshness yourself.
The two domains pull in different directions. Healthcare access reads strong, but the on-paper school count is on the lighter side — that’s less a quality signal and more a density one. Households here often look at districts a few ZIPs over for school choice while keeping their providers local.
One concrete reading worth keeping: Depression prevalence sits higher the national rate at 24.8%. Each figure on this page links to the original federal dataset with its retrieval date — this synthesis is a reading, not a substitute for the underlying records.
