Carthage, Arkansas: commercial real estate data.
Carthage is a Census city of 185 people across 0.99 square miles of land, in Dallas County. 66.3 percent of occupied homes are owned.
Underlined figures are computed by MMCG Analytics, not published by the agency.
This is a small place, and the figures below carry wide margins.
The American Community Survey reaches Carthage through a sample, not a count, and in a place this size that sample is thin. The population estimate here is 185 with a margin of error of plus or minus 99, which is 53.5 percent of the estimate itself. Every figure whose margin reaches 20 percent is printed with that margin beside it, so you can see the width of each one rather than having to assume it.
Nothing has been removed or adjusted. These are the published federal estimates, shown with the uncertainty the Census publishes alongside them.

Is Carthage in the National Flood Insurance Program?

No, and they are labeled so.

They appear in one clearly marked section as context and are never presented as measurements of Carthage.
Is zoning published for Carthage?
No. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
