ZIP code 71675

ZIP 71675 is a small town in Drew County, Arkansas, with 1,846 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #256 of 614 ranked by population — larger than 58% of them. The median age here is 40 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 ZIP 71675 earn a median of $36,573 a year, 53.4% below the national figure of $78,538. 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 20.9% 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 ZIP 71675 is valued at $136,600, 55% below the national figure, while median gross rent runs $779 a month, 44.6% below the national figure, or roughly $9,348 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 25.6% 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 3.7×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 74.4% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

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.

ZIP 71675 is tabulated inside Drew County, Arkansas, one of 4 ZIP areas the Census publishes for that county and 614 across Arkansas. Fewer than 2,500 people are counted here, so the ZIP behaves like a village delivery route rather than a neighbourhood. County assignment on this page follows the largest share of the ZIP's land area, which matters where a delivery route crosses a county line: mail addressed to 71675 can be handled by a post office in a neighbouring county even though the tabulation area is filed here.

Against its own county, 71675 reports a median household income of $36,573, 6% below the $38,726 county median, and 31% below the $52,862 typical AR ZIP. Owner-occupied homes are valued at a median of $136,600, 34% above the county figure and 14% above the statewide ZIP median. Rent is reported gross — the contract amount plus tenant-paid utilities — at $779 a month, which is why it reads higher than the advertised rent on a listing for the same unit.

Arkansas charges 6.5% statewide, and local governments overlapping 71675 may add county, city or special-district levies on top. We publish the state floor for this ZIP rather than guessing a combined figure, because ZIP boundaries and taxing-district boundaries were drawn for different purposes and do not line up.

Everything above comes from the Census Bureau American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates for this ZIP Code Tabulation Area, with sales tax rates traced to the state revenue agency. Five-year estimates pool sixty months of responses, so they are stable enough to compare 71675 with its neighbours but always trail the current year, and any value the Census suppressed for sample size is shown as unpublished rather than filled in with a model.
