What these numbers say together
Valley Springs, AR (ZIP 72682) sits in Marion County. The page draws on 2 federal data feeds retrieved Apr 27. Top health signal: High Blood Pressure comes in above the national average at 40.4%. NCES lists 3 schools serving the area, 3 non-charter. 2 colleges and universities serve the area, with median in-state tuition of $3,408. IRS data shows average household income (AGI) of $51,721 per tax return. Local establishments report average pay of $30,368 per worker (Census ZBP) — below the US average. BLS QCEW reports average annual pay of $41,231 per worker, roughly 37% below the US average. FEMA has issued 28 federal disaster declarations affecting this ZIP since 1969 — a high-frequency exposure profile. County Health Rankings reports 11,365 years of potential life lost per 100,000 (2025) — well above the national county median. Arkansas levies a flat state income tax (top rate 3.90%); a household at the local median AGI of $51,721 would pay roughly $1,210/year before deductions. IRS migration data (2022-2023) shows a net gain of 625 residents (292 households) — the ZIP's primary county is growing. 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 $36,860, fair market rent of $940 for a two-bedroom, and a 26.2% 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.
- Fair market rent for a two-bedroom ($940/month, HUD SAFMR) represents 31% of median household income ($36,860, Census ACS) — above the 30% affordability threshold commonly used by housing experts.
- Lower median household income ($36,860, Census ACS) sits alongside an above-average 37.3% obesity rate (CDC PLACES) — a pattern that correlates with reduced healthcare access in lower-income areas.
One concrete reading worth keeping: Depression prevalence sits higher the national rate at 25.9%. 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.
