Overview
Understanding ZIP code 72467
ZIP code 72467 is assigned to State University, AR, and falls within Craighead 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 975 people live inside it.
At 3,794 residents per square mile spread over 0.257 square miles, 72467 reads as a densely built-up 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.

Practical uses
What ZIP code 72467 is used for

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.

One caution worth repeating: a postal code is not a neighbourhood. 72467 may cover parts of several distinct areas, and a single neighbourhood in State University 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.
