ZIP code 72630

ZIP 72630 is a very small community in Boone County, Arkansas, with 123 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #539 of 614 ranked by population — larger than 12% of them. The median age here is 49.4 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 ZIP 72630 earn a median of $53,750 a year, 31.6% below the national figure of $78,538. 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 2.4% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in ZIP 72630 is valued at $128,400, 57.7% below the national figure, while median gross rent runs $1,097 a month, 22% below the national figure, or roughly $13,164 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 24.5% 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 2.4×, 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. 72.5% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. 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.

This is one of the smallest tabulated ZIP areas in the state, the kind of rural route where a single subdivision or farm cluster accounts for most addresses. 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 72630 can be handled by a post office in a neighbouring county even though the tabulation area is filed here.

Against its own county, 72630 reports a median household income of $53,750, close to the $53,905 county median, and close to the $52,862 typical AR ZIP.

Arkansas charges 6.5% statewide, and local governments overlapping 72630 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 72630 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.
