Powhatan, AR population, income and ZIP codes

Powhatan town is a very small community in Arkansas, with 194 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #446 of 625 ranked by population — larger than 28% of them. The median age here is 30.3 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. 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 Powhatan town earn a median of $60,556 a year, 22.9% below the national figure of $78,538 and 23% above the $49,306 median for the 209 Arkansas cities we cover. This figure covers the household, not the worker: two people on ordinary wages at one address outrank a single professional in the same table. Poverty reaches 25.3% 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 Powhatan town is valued at not published, while median gross rent runs not published a month. 87% 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. Rent is reported gross — contract rent plus tenant-paid utilities — which is why it runs above the advertised price on a listing for the same unit.

With 194 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Powhatan town against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld home value, gross rent for Powhatan town 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.
