ZIP 72065 vs ZIP 72132

This side-by-side compares ZIP 72065 (Hensley, AR) and ZIP 72132 (Redfield, AR) using the same Census ACS 5-Year table fields for both — no averages swapped in, no national proxies. ZIP 72065 has a population of 5,207 at 35 people per square mile, while ZIP 72132 has 3,242 at 21 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 72065 reports a median household income of $75,857 against $56,071 in ZIP 72132, with per-capita income of $36,835 vs $25,119. The share of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher is 28.0% in 72065 and 13.5% in 72132. Poverty rate reads 20.0% vs 13.4%, and unemployment 6.5% vs 1.5% — 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 $223,100 in 72065 versus $118,500 in 72132, with median rent of $1,037 and $903 per month respectively. Homeownership rate is 75.5% vs 79.1%. 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.
