Tucker, AR (ZIP 72168) sits in Jefferson County. The page draws on 1 federal data feed retrieved Apr 24. Top health signal: Obesity comes in above the national average at 41.7%. No NCES schools are mapped to this ZIP in the current dataset. 10 colleges and universities serve the area, with median in-state tuition of $5,017. IRS data shows average household income (AGI) of $41,018 per tax return. BLS QCEW reports average annual pay of $51,569 per worker, roughly 21% below the US average. CDC's Social Vulnerability Index places this ZIP in the 90th percentile nationally — a highly vulnerable community profile. FEMA has issued 25 federal disaster declarations affecting this ZIP since 1973 — a high-frequency exposure profile. Annual precipitation averages 50.5" — a wet-climate ZCTA per NOAA's 1991–2020 Normals. County Health Rankings reports 15,931 years of potential life lost per 100,000 (2025) — well above the national county median. 26.0% of residents in this county are flagged low-access by USDA's 2025 Food Environment Atlas — a notable supermarket-access gap. Arkansas levies a flat state income tax (top rate 3.90%); a household at the local median AGI of $41,018 would pay roughly $960/year before deductions. IRS migration data (2022-2023) shows a net loss of 320 residents (205 households) — the ZIP's primary county is shrinking. Both healthcare access and on-paper school density skew lighter than national norms; what shows up here is a snapshot, not a verdict — neighborhood-level texture matters at this scale. Notable: fair market rent of $920 for a two-bedroom, a 67.5% poverty rate (well above the ~12% US average), and a median home value of $53,700. Every figure on this page links to its underlying federal dataset with a retrieval date so you can audit the freshness yourself.
