Reader, AR population, income and ZIP codes

Reader CDP is a very small community in Arkansas, with 78 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #547 of 625 ranked by population — larger than 12% of them. The median age here is 42.8 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 Reader CDP earn a median of $27,891 a year, 64.5% below the national figure of $78,538 and 43% below 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 0% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Reader CDP is valued at not published, while median gross rent runs not published a month. 9.1% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, a renter-majority market, so rent figures matter more here than the home-value line. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

With 78 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Reader CDP against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld home value, gross rent for Reader CDP 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.
