Board Camp, AR population, income and ZIP codes

Board Camp CDP is a very small community in Arkansas, with 76 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #548 of 625 ranked by population — larger than 12% of them. The median age here is 44.9 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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 Board Camp CDP earn a median of $26,038 a year, 66.8% below the national figure of $78,538 and 47% below the $49,306 median for the 209 Arkansas cities we cover. This figure covers the household, not the worker: two people on ordinary wages at one address outrank a single professional in the same table. Poverty reaches 18.4% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Board Camp CDP is valued at $342,900, 13% above the national figure and 166% above the $128,900 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 13.2×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is out of reach on local earnings alone and the ownership market leans on outside income, equity or dual high earners. 80.6% 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. Rent is reported gross — contract rent plus tenant-paid utilities — which is why it runs above the advertised price on a listing for the same unit.

Home values sit at 13.2× median household income, far past the 3.9× national mark, so ownership costs here are set by something other than local wages — second homes, retirees with equity, or commuters earning elsewhere. With 76 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Board Camp CDP against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld gross rent for Board Camp 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.
