St. Joe, AR population, income and ZIP codes

St. Joe town is a very small community in Arkansas, with 139 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #492 of 625 ranked by population — larger than 21% of them. The median age here is 36.9 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger 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 St. Joe town earn a median of $44,167 a year, 43.8% below the national figure of $78,538 and 10% below the $49,306 median for the 209 Arkansas cities we cover. Household income here is measured before tax and pooled across everyone at the address, which is why it reads higher than typical individual earnings in the same area. Poverty reaches 55.4% 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 St. Joe town is valued at $75,000, 75.3% below the national figure and 42% below the $128,900 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 1.7×, 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. 66.7% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. 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 139 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare St. Joe town against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld gross rent for St. Joe 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.
