Cash, AR population, income and ZIP codes

Cash town is a very small community in Arkansas, with 365 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #353 of 625 ranked by population — larger than 43% of them. The median age here is 33.9 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 Cash town earn a median of $29,615 a year, 62.3% below the national figure of $78,538 and 40% below the $49,306 median for the 209 Arkansas cities we cover. Median household income counts every pre-tax dollar arriving at an address — wages, self-employment, Social Security, pensions, interest and public assistance — for everyone living there, so multi-earner households pull the figure up even where individual pay is modest. Poverty reaches 49.6% 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 Cash town is valued at $76,700, 74.7% below the national figure and 40% below the $128,900 peer median, while median gross rent runs $871 a month, 38.1% below the national figure, or roughly $10,452 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 35.3% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is a stretch on median earnings. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 2.6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 41.8% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, a renter-majority market, so rent figures matter more here than the home-value line. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

Cash town is the unusual combination of expensive to rent and cheap to buy: rent takes 35.3% of median income while homes cost only 2.6× it. Where that pattern shows up, the gap is normally down to down-payment and credit barriers rather than price. With 365 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Cash town against its county rather than against national figures.

Every value on this page is published directly by the Census for this area — nothing is modelled or interpolated. Small-area estimates still carry wider margins of error than state or national figures, so check the linked ACS tables before relying on them for lending, appraisal or legal work.
