Median Age by Zip Code (ZCTA5) — Arkansas

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

Northwest Arkansas, particularly the Fayetteville-Springdale-Rogers metropolitan corridor, displays notably lower median ages in the low-to-mid 30s, consistent with the region's rapid growth driven by younger workers and university populations. Rural zip codes in the Ozark highlands and along the southern border tend to skew older, with several areas exceeding median ages of 55, reflecting patterns of youth outmigration from economically declining communities. The central corridor around Little Rock and its suburbs presents a mixed mosaic, with younger urban core zip codes adjacent to older suburban and exurban areas, while the eastern Delta region shows considerable variability rather than a uniform age profile.
