Overview
Understanding ZIP code 72332
ZIP code 72332 is assigned to Edmondson, AR, and falls within Crittenden County. Like every US postal code, it began as a mail-routing device rather than a geographic boundary — the US Postal Service groups delivery routes under a single code so carriers and sorting equipment can process mail efficiently. Today it also serves as a practical shorthand for the area itself: roughly 130 people live inside it.
At 422 residents per square mile spread over 0.308 square miles, 72332 reads as a small-town area. It is a sparsely populated postal code, and density shapes almost everything else on this page — how people get to work, whether they own or rent, and what housing costs.
Household earnings are well below the national median. At $20,750, 72332 ranks among the lower-income postal codes, ahead of 0% of them. The US median for comparison is $70,109. Bear in mind that median income describes the midpoint household, not the average — it is not pulled upward by a handful of very high earners the way a mean would be.
Living here
What life in Edmondson looks like
Housing in 72332 costs well below the national median. A typical home is valued at $100,000 against a US median of $207,500, and median gross rent runs $755 a month. This is firmly renter territory — 89.2% of occupied homes are rented, a pattern typical of city centres, student areas and neighbourhoods with a lot of apartment stock.
The building stock is dominated by small multi-family buildings of two to four units, which account for 75.0% of housing units here. The median construction year is 1988, making the housing here from the later twentieth century.
The population skews notably young, with a median age of 13.5 against 42 nationally. Households are relatively large at 3.51 people on average, with 91.9% classified as family households.
Getting to work takes 23.8 minutes on average one way. The dominant mode is drove alone at 80.0% of workers, while 10.0% walk. Commute patterns are one of the better proxies for how a place actually functions day to day.

Practical uses
What ZIP code 72332 is used for
Beyond addressing mail, 72332 does a lot of quiet administrative work. Retailers use it to calculate shipping and sales tax at checkout. Insurers use it to set premiums, since risk profiles vary geographically. Employers and marketers use it to define service areas. Government agencies use it to route benefits and organise reporting. If you have ever been asked for a postal code by a form that clearly does not intend to send you anything, this is why.
For anyone weighing a move, 72332 offers a compact profile of Edmondson: 130 residents, a median household income of $20,750, 2.4% of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher, and an unemployment rate of 44.4%. A handful of figures like these answer more relocation questions than most neighbourhood guides do.
One caution worth repeating: a postal code is not a neighbourhood. 72332 may cover parts of several distinct areas, and a single neighbourhood in Edmondson may be split across more than one code. Boundaries also shift as USPS adjusts delivery routes. Treat the figures here as describing a delivery area, which is what they actually measure.
