Texarkana, AR population, income and ZIP codes

Texarkana city is a small city in Arkansas, with 29,343 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #16 of 625 ranked by population — larger than 97% of them. The median age here is 38.4 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. 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 Texarkana city earn a median of $47,930 a year, 39% below the national figure of $78,538 and 3% 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 22% 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 Texarkana city is valued at $162,700, 46.4% below the national figure and 26% above the $128,900 peer median, while median gross rent runs $893 a month, 36.5% below the national figure, or roughly $10,716 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 22.4% 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. 56.5% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. 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.

Every value on this page is published directly by the Census for this area — nothing is modelled or interpolated. 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.
