The story so far
from Wikipedia & the U.S. CensusCasa is a town in Perry County, Arkansas, United States. Located in Central Arkansas, the town initially grew due to the mining of coal, harvesting of timber and cultivation of cotton. The Great Depression reduced the population greatly, and the community's economy never recovered. The population was 120 at the 2020 census. Casa is about midway between Ola and Perry. The town is the westernmost municipality within the Little Rock–North Little Rock–Conway Metropolitan Statistical Area.
Casa was established in 1900. Between the 2010 and 2020 censuses its population fell from 171 to 120 (-30%). Half of its homes were built before 1973.
