Appleton, AR population, income and ZIP codes

Appleton CDP is a very small community in Arkansas, with 145 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #486 of 625 ranked by population — larger than 22% of them. The median age here is 36.4 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. At this population the ACS sample is small, so the margin of error around every dollar figure below is wide — treat the numbers as a band, not a point, and expect them to move between annual releases without the place itself changing.

Households in Appleton CDP earn a median of $42,212 a year, 46.3% below the national figure of $78,538 and 14% below the $49,306 median for the 209 Arkansas cities we cover. The median is the midpoint household, not an average, so a handful of very high earners cannot drag it upward the way they distort a mean. Poverty reaches 23.4% of residents here, well above the 12.4% national rate, which is the single clearest signal in this dataset that median income here is carried by a narrow band of households.

The typical owner-occupied home in Appleton CDP is valued at not published, while median gross rent runs not published a month. 85.5% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, an owner-dominated market where rental listings are scarce and rent medians rest on a thin sample. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

With 145 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Appleton CDP against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld home value, gross rent for Appleton CDP because the sample was too thin to publish at this geography. Those values were suppressed at the source, not lost in our dataset, and we do not model a replacement. Everything else on this page comes straight from the ACS 2019-2023 ACS 5-year tables.
