Ozark Acres, AR population, income and ZIP codes

Ozark Acres CDP is a very small community in Arkansas, with 664 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #261 of 625 ranked by population — larger than 58% of them. The median age here is 51.9 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 Ozark Acres CDP earn a median of $32,422 a year, 58.7% below the national figure of $78,538 and 34% below the $49,306 median for the 209 Arkansas cities we cover. The median is the midpoint household, not an average, so a handful of very high earners cannot drag it upward the way they distort a mean. Poverty reaches 23.6% 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 Ozark Acres CDP is valued at $66,800, 78% below the national figure and 48% below the $128,900 peer median, while median gross rent runs $947 a month, 32.6% below the national figure, or roughly $11,364 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 35.1% 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 2.1×, 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. 82.5% 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.

Ozark Acres CDP is the unusual combination of expensive to rent and cheap to buy: rent takes 35.1% of median income while homes cost only 2.1× it. Where that pattern shows up, the gap is normally down to down-payment and credit barriers rather than price. A median age of 51.9 puts Ozark Acres 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.
