What these numbers say together
West Memphis, AR (ZIP 72301) sits in Crittenden County within the Memphis metro area. The page draws on 2 federal data feeds retrieved Apr 27. Top health signal: High Blood Pressure comes in above the national average at 50.8%. NCES lists 13 schools serving the area, 13 non-charter. 4 colleges and universities serve the area, with median in-state tuition of $3,258. 42% of returns claim the Earned Income Tax Credit (IRS), a higher share than most ZIPs. BLS QCEW reports average annual pay of $47,790 per worker, roughly 27% below the US average. Evolve Bank & Trust holds 64% of FDIC-reported deposits in this ZIP (2024) — a notably concentrated local banking market. FEMA has issued 21 federal disaster declarations affecting this ZIP since 1973 — a high-frequency exposure profile. Annual precipitation averages 55.9" — a wet-climate ZCTA per NOAA's 1991–2020 Normals. County Health Rankings reports 17,011 years of potential life lost per 100,000 (2025) — well above the national county median. Fast-food restaurants outnumber grocery stores roughly 5-to-1 per capita (USDA Food Environment Atlas) — a "food swamp" pattern often linked to higher diet-related disease prevalence. Arkansas levies a flat state income tax (top rate 3.90%); a household at the local median AGI of $44,586 would pay roughly $1,043/year before deductions. New residents arriving here predominantly come from Shelby County, TN (IRS SOI Migration, 2022-2023). Healthcare access and school options both run strong here, giving residents a wide menu of providers and enrollment choices nearby. Notable: median household income $41,022, fair market rent of $1,060 for a two-bedroom, and a typical home value of $132,123, up 5.7% over the past year. Every figure on this page links to its underlying federal dataset with a retrieval date so you can audit the freshness yourself.
These two readings tell a consistent story. Strong access numbers usually correlate with denser provider networks, and a high school count signals the population base that supports them. Reading them together: a household weighing this ZIP for a multi-year stay can expect both healthcare and education infrastructure to keep pace.
One concrete reading worth keeping: Depression prevalence sits near the national rate at 23.7%. 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.
