Pea Ridge, AR population, income and ZIP codes

Pea Ridge city is a mid-size town in Arkansas, with 7,348 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #53 of 625 ranked by population — larger than 91% of them. The median age here is 35.9 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. Places under 65,000 residents only appear in the five-year release, never the one-year file, so these values pool sixty months of responses and lag the current year by design.

Households in Pea Ridge city earn a median of $93,627 a year, 19.2% above the national figure of $78,538 and 90% above 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 4.3% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Pea Ridge city is valued at $255,600, 15.8% below the national figure and 98% above the $128,900 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,395 a month, essentially level with the national figure, or roughly $16,740 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 17.9% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is cheap relative to what people here earn. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 2.7×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 75.1% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

All values below were released by the Census for this exact geography, with no gap-filling on our side. 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.
