ZIP 72001 vs ZIP 72125

This side-by-side compares ZIP 72001 (Adona, AR) and ZIP 72125 (Perry, AR) using the same Census ACS 5-Year table fields for both — no averages swapped in, no national proxies. ZIP 72001 has a population of 566 at 9 people per square mile, while ZIP 72125 has 905 at 16 per square mile. That difference in population size and density alone reshapes how every other metric should be interpreted — a higher-income ZIP with 1,200 residents behaves very differently from one with 45,000.

On income and education, ZIP 72001 reports a median household income of $36,008 against $62,917 in ZIP 72125, with per-capita income of $23,559 vs $27,330. The share of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher is 11.3% in 72001 and 9.0% in 72125. Poverty rate reads 26.1% vs 16.8%, and unemployment 7.0% vs 11.4% — these four fields alone drive most of the difference in the scorecard grades you will see for each ZIP.

Housing separates these two ZIPs further: median home value sits at $161,800 in 72001 versus $95,700 in 72125, with median rent of $625 and $690 per month respectively. Homeownership rate is 89.8% vs 84.0%. When reading the comparison table below, focus on paired metrics rather than single winners — a ZIP with lower home values and lower income is not strictly "worse" if rent-to-income ratios and commute times land in the same zone. Every value is pulled from the exact same ACS table so the two columns are genuinely comparable.
