Overview
Understanding ZIP code 72713
ZIP code 72713 is assigned to Bentonville, AR, and falls within Benton 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 26,293 people live inside it.
At 542 residents per square mile spread over 48.503 square miles, 72713 reads as a small-town area. It is a populous 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 here sit well above the national picture. The median household income of $117,752 places 72713 in the upper reaches of American postal codes, ahead of 91% 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 Bentonville looks like
Housing in 72713 costs well above the national median. A typical home is valued at $355,000 against a US median of $207,500, and median gross rent runs $1,302 a month. The split between owning and renting is fairly even at 51.3% owner-occupied, which tends to indicate a mix of housing types rather than one dominant form.
The building stock is dominated by detached single-family houses, which account for 63.7% of housing units here. The median construction year is 2013, making the housing here relatively modern.
The population skews younger than the country as a whole, with a median age of 30.3 against 42 nationally. The average household holds 2.61 people, and 66.0% are family households.
Getting to work takes 21.5 minutes on average one way. The dominant mode is drove alone at 68.6% of workers, while 21.6% work from home. Commute patterns are one of the better proxies for how a place actually functions day to day.
Where to stay
Where to stay in Bentonville, AR

Practical uses
What ZIP code 72713 is used for
Beyond addressing mail, 72713 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, 72713 offers a compact profile of Bentonville: 26,293 residents, a median household income of $117,752, 58.3% of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher, and an unemployment rate of 2.3%. 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. 72713 may cover parts of several distinct areas, and a single neighbourhood in Bentonville 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.
