Leslie, AR population, income and ZIP codes

Leslie city is a very small community in Arkansas, with 442 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #323 of 625 ranked by population — larger than 48% of them. The median age here is 42 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 Leslie city earn a median of $23,750 a year, 69.8% below the national figure of $78,538 and 52% below 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 43% 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 Leslie city is valued at $94,200, 69% below the national figure and 27% below the $128,900 peer median, while median gross rent runs $429 a month, 69.5% below the national figure, or roughly $5,148 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 21.7% 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 4×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 45.3% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
