ZIP 72034 vs ZIP 72032

This side-by-side compares ZIP 72034 (Conway, AR) and ZIP 72032 (Conway, AR) using the same Census ACS 5-Year table fields for both — no averages swapped in, no national proxies. ZIP 72034 has a population of 44,723 at 308 people per square mile, while ZIP 72032 has 31,436 at 106 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 72034 reports a median household income of $65,635 against $64,695 in ZIP 72032, with per-capita income of $39,079 vs $30,831. The share of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher is 46.1% in 72034 and 30.2% in 72032. Poverty rate reads 16.3% vs 15.5%, and unemployment 3.0% vs 4.0% — 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 $274,200 in 72034 versus $209,800 in 72032, with median rent of $1,011 and $992 per month respectively. Homeownership rate is 47.6% vs 63.4%. 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.
