Russellville, AR population, income and ZIP codes

Russellville city is a small city in Arkansas, with 29,057 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #18 of 625 ranked by population — larger than 97% of them. The median age here is 30.4 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. 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 Russellville city earn a median of $48,708 a year, 38% below the national figure of $78,538 and within a couple of points of the $49,306 median for the 209 Arkansas cities we cover. Median household income counts every pre-tax dollar arriving at an address — wages, self-employment, Social Security, pensions, interest and public assistance — for everyone living there, so multi-earner households pull the figure up even where individual pay is modest. Poverty reaches 20% 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 Russellville city is valued at $166,500, 45.1% below the national figure and 29% above the $128,900 peer median, while median gross rent runs $835 a month, 40.6% below the national figure, or roughly $10,020 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 20.6% 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 3.4×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 57.8% 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.
