Genoa, AR population, income and ZIP codes

Genoa CDP is a small town in Arkansas, with 1,008 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #209 of 625 ranked by population — larger than 66% of them. The median age here is 50.3 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 Genoa CDP earn a median of $55,500 a year, 29.3% below the national figure of $78,538 and 13% 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 15.3% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Genoa CDP is valued at $124,500, 59% below the national figure and 3% below the $128,900 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,043 a month, 25.8% below the national figure, or roughly $12,516 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 22.6% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is within the standard affordability guideline. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 2.2×, 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. 77.3% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

A median age of 50.3 puts Genoa CDP well into retirement-weighted territory, which pulls median household income down even where household wealth is high, because retirement draws are counted differently from wages.

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.
