Strawberry, AR population, income and ZIP codes

Strawberry town is a very small community in Arkansas, with 311 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #385 of 625 ranked by population — larger than 38% of them. The median age here is 46.9 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 Strawberry town earn a median of $40,625 a year, 48.3% below the national figure of $78,538 and 18% below 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 19.6% 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 Strawberry town is valued at $130,100, 57.1% below the national figure and within a couple of points of the $128,900 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,000 a month, 28.9% below the national figure, or roughly $12,000 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 29.5% 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 3.2×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 84.2% 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. 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 311 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Strawberry town against its county rather than against national figures.

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.
