Overview

Understanding ZIP code 72764

ZIP code 72764 is assigned to Springdale, AR, and falls within Washington 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 57,468 people live inside it.

At 869 residents per square mile spread over 66.169 square miles, 72764 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 run below the national median. At $61,569, 72764 sits in the lower half, ahead of 35% 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 Springdale looks like

Housing in 72764 costs close to the national median. A typical home is valued at $226,100 against a US median of $207,500, and median gross rent runs $984 a month. The split between owning and renting is fairly even at 46.7% 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 63.9% of housing units here. The median construction year is 1993, making the housing here from the later twentieth century.

The population skews younger than the country as a whole, with a median age of 32.4 against 42 nationally. The average household holds 2.96 people, and 71.4% are family households.

Getting to work takes 21.7 minutes on average one way. The dominant mode is drove alone at 75.8% of workers.

Where to stay

Where to stay in Springdale, AR

Springdale is a smaller community, so options inside 72764 may be limited to a handful of independent inns, motels or bed-and-breakfast properties. Travellers often widen the search to the surrounding area, where the choice is greater and prices are usually competitive.

Median rent in 72764 is $984 a month, which sits in the middle of the national range; accommodation pricing locally tends to be similarly mid-market.

Practical uses

What ZIP code 72764 is used for

Beyond addressing mail, 72764 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, 72764 offers a compact profile of Springdale: 57,468 residents, a median household income of $61,569, 19.8% of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher, and an unemployment rate of 6.3%. 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. 72764 may cover parts of several distinct areas, and a single neighbourhood in Springdale 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.

Does 72764 cover more than one city or county?
This page lists Springdale as the primary place and Washington County as the county.

If you need the definitive answer for a specific street address, the USPS ZIP Code Lookup is the authority.
Can ZIP code 72764 change?
Yes. USPS adjusts ZIP codes as delivery volumes shift — codes are occasionally split, merged, retired or newly created, and boundaries move more often than most people assume. The Census Bureau's ZCTA definitions, which underpin the demographic figures on this page, are redrawn only once a decade, so the two can drift apart between censuses.

On accuracy. ACS figures are survey estimates, not counts. The margin of error shown alongside the population figure means the true value has a 90% chance of falling in that range. For small ZIP codes the error can be large relative to the estimate — treat the direction as more reliable than the exact number.
