El Paso CDP, AR in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

El Paso CDP is a very small community in Arkansas, with 494 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #304 of 625 ranked by population — larger than 51% of them. The median age here is 47.9 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 El Paso CDP earn a median of $58,529 a year, 25.5% below the national figure of $78,538 and 19% above the $49,306 median for the 209 Arkansas cities we cover. Household income here is measured before tax and pooled across everyone at the address, which is why it reads higher than typical individual earnings in the same area. Poverty reaches 0% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in El Paso CDP is valued at $134,900, 55.5% below the national figure and 5% above the $128,900 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 2.3×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so purchase prices are unusually low against local pay, the pattern in places where supply is plentiful and wage growth has been flat. 93.6% 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. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

With 494 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare El Paso CDP against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld gross rent for El Paso 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.
