Is Arkansas a Good Place to Live? Arkansas Rankings, Cost of Living, Crime & Taxes
Arkansas ranks #48 of 50 with a composite score of 40.1 and a D grade, strongest in affordability (#2) and weakest in safety (#47). The median household earns $62,106 (23% below the national median), homes typically cost $227,264 (38% below the national average), and violent crime is 532 per 100,000 (62% above the national average).
The case for Arkansas is the monthly bill and little else: a family of four at $75,000 comes out at a $8,363 surplus, #4, and infant childcare costs $9,727. The composite misleads: it averages Northwest Arkansas, where Bentonville and Bella Vista grow fast, with a Delta near the bottom on health and safety.
Arkansas by the numbers
Six measures every state is judged on, each with Arkansas's rank of 50 and the national figure beside it.
Sources, latest releases: Census Bureau ACS (income), Zillow Research (home value), BEA Regional Price Parities (cost index), FBI state crime estimates (crime), BLS LAUS (unemployment), WalletHub tax burden study (taxes). Rank 1 is the best value in each measure: highest income, lowest cost, lowest crime.
Read the Arkansas overview
Arkansas scores above the national average in 2 of 11 categories and ranks #13 of 14 states in the South, behind 12 regional neighbors. Its biggest edge over the country is typical home value ($227,264, 38% below the national average); its biggest shortfall is violent crime rate (532, 62% above the national average). That mix of top-10 finishes (1) and bottom-10 finishes (5) is why the composite alone undersells the tradeoffs a mover here faces.

The capital, the medical center and the state payroll; a city with high crime in its core, ringed by Benton, Cabot, Sherwood and Conway, where most metro families actually live.
Fort Smith's factories, Russellville's nuclear plant and college; low costs, modest wages, and an Oklahoma border that many residents cross for work or shopping.
Jonesboro, Paragould, West Memphis, Pine Bluff: rice, cotton and soybeans on flat river land; the state's cheapest housing, weakest hospitals and highest crime, with Jonesboro the growing exception.
Spa town and lake retirement country, then pine timber and paper mills toward Louisiana; cheap, slow, and a long way from a specialist.

How the score works
Eleven categories, each scored 0–100 and weighted into one composite. Grades follow rank.
The weights
Economy 15% · Safety 12% · Health 12% · Education 12% · Affordability 10% · Fiscal Health 8% · Growth 7% · Transportation 7% · Livability 7% · Outdoor Access 6% · Environment 4%. The composite is the weighted sum, stretched linearly so states spread across most of the 0–100 range.
From raw numbers to scores
Every raw measure is placed on a 0–100 scale between a fixed floor and ceiling, inverted where lower is better (crime, cost, taxes), then combined within its category. The same scale applies to every state.
Letter grades
Grades follow rank, not score: A+ for ranks 1–5, A for 6–10, B+ for 11–18, B for 19–26, C+ for 27–34, C for 35–42, D for 43–48, F for 49–50. A C+ state is not failing; it is in the middle third.
Cities, budgets and neighbors
The 20 Arkansas city scores, the household budgets and the neighbor table on this page are computed from the same sources as the state score. City ranks are among the cities we track, not all cities in the state.
Editor's notes
Passages marked as editor's notes are written for this state and add context the numbers cannot: regions, tradeoffs, who the state fits. Every figure inside them is pulled from the data at build time, so the words cannot drift from the numbers.
Always the latest release
Each source is the most recent release its agency has published. The page is rebuilt when a source updates, so the score can move without any change in the state itself.
What the score cannot tell you
Weather and climate, culture and pace, politics beyond the Cook index shown for context, the quality of a specific school, hospital or neighborhood, job prospects in your field, and anything without a public, comparable, 50-state source. Statewide averages also hide the metro-versus-rural split, which is why the editor's notes name places.

Key takeaways
What the Arkansas numbers say when read together.
Affordability is Arkansas's strongest suit
Arkansas is a #48 state overall but #2 of 50 for affordability, 46 places better than its composite rank, with a score of 89.7 against a national average of 65.2. Growth (#17) is next. Affordability carries 10% of the composite.
Arkansas has no weak category relative to its rank
Every one of the 11 categories ranks at or above the state's overall #48, so the composite is not being dragged down by any single weakness.
Typical home value is 38% below the national average
Arkansas's typical home value is $227,264, 38% below the national average of $368,697, #5 of 50 (1 = cheapest). The largest gap in the other direction is violent crime rate: 532, 62% above the national average. Source: Zillow Research ZHVI, latest release.
More households arrive than leave
Arkansas ranks #13 of 50 on net household flow per 1,000 residents (+1.7). The households arriving report $3,645 more in average income than those leaving ($62,982 against $59,337), so the state is trading up on income even as the headcount grows. Texas is both the largest source and the largest destination.
A middle income stretches further here than in most states
A family of four earning $75,000 ends the year at a $8,363 surplus after housing, childcare, utilities, groceries, transport and taxes, against a $11,758 shortfall in the median state (#4 of 50). A single adult on the same income comes out at a $37,972 surplus; a retiree couple at a $43,012 surplus. Infant childcare runs $9,727 a year, 38% below the national average.
Arkansas sits 6th among its 7-state neighborhood

Frequently asked questions about living in Arkansas
Is Arkansas a good place to live?
Arkansas ranks #48 of 50 with a D grade, #13 of 14 in the South. It is top 10 in affordability and bottom 10 in transportation, economy, environment, safety, and health. On the six headline measures it beats the national figure on 3 of 6 (home prices, cost of living, and tax burden) and trails on income, violent crime, and unemployment. Whether that adds up to a good place to live depends on what you weigh; the household rankings below re-weight the same numbers for families, retirees and remote workers.
Where does Arkansas rank among US states?
Arkansas ranks #48 of 50 overall with a composite score of 40.1 (grade D), and #13 of 14 states in the South. Its best category rank is #2 (affordability) and its worst #47 (safety). The composite weights eleven categories, with economy, safety, health and education counting most; grades follow rank, so D means rank 43–48.
Is it expensive to live in Arkansas?
At #1 of 50 for cost of living (1 = cheapest), Arkansas is 13% below the national average: its index is 86.9 against a national baseline of 100. The typical home value is $227,264 (38% below the national average), and buying it takes an income of about $61,092 against a median household income of $62,106. At $75,000, a family of four comes out at a $8,363 surplus after all costs, #4 of 50 (1 = most left over).
Does Arkansas have a state income tax?
Yes. Arkansas's top state income tax rate is 3.9% (#14 of 50, 1 = lowest), and the total state and local tax burden is 8.61% of income, 0.1 points below the national average. Property tax is 0.59% of home value and combined sales tax 9.46%.
What is the crime rate in Arkansas?
Arkansas reports 532 violent crimes per 100,000 residents, 62% above the national average and #48 of 50 (1 = safest), and 1,645 property crimes per 100,000, 7% above the national average (#35). Its safety score is 48.9 out of 100, #47 of 50. Figures are FBI estimates from the latest release.
Does Arkansas have good schools?
Arkansas is #40 of 50 for education (score 49.3 out of 100). Its public school students average 266 in eighth-grade math on NAEP (#43) and 255 in eighth-grade reading (#37), and the high school graduation rate is 88.2%, 2.6 points above the national average (#15). Among tracked cities with at least three schools, Benton has the highest graduation rate at 93.4%.
Why are people moving to Arkansas?
Arkansas gained a net 5,269 households in the latest IRS release: 36,997 moved in and 31,728 moved out, +1.7 per 1,000 residents (#13 of 50). The largest source of arrivals is Texas (7,451 households) and the most common destination is Texas (6,498). Arriving households report an average income of $62,982 against $59,337 for those leaving, so movers in earn more than movers out. The IRS files count tax returns and say nothing about motives.
Is Arkansas a red or blue state?
Arkansas is a solidly red state: its Cook Partisan Voting Index is R+15, meaning it votes about 15 points more Republican than the country as a whole. The political lean is shown for context and is not part of the composite score.
What are the downsides of living in Arkansas?
Health, safety and the sales tax, in that order. The state ranks #47 on health with life expectancy of 73.9 years, #47 on safety, concentrated in Little Rock and the Delta, and charges 9.46% at the register. Wages are low: $62,106 median household income. Summers are long and humid, and outside the northwest and Little Rock the nearest specialist may be two hours away.
Is Arkansas a good place to retire?
Financially one of the best; medically one of the riskier. A retiree couple at $75,000 ends the year at a $43,012 surplus, #4, property tax is 0.59%, and the assessed value freezes at sixty-five. Still, the state ranks #45 for retirees because health access and safety drag it down. Hot Springs Village and Bella Vista are the retirement towns; Bella Vista sits near Northwest Arkansas's hospitals.
Where in Arkansas should I live?
Depends on the job. If it is with Walmart or a supplier, Bentonville, Rogers or Bella Vista, at Northwest Arkansas prices. If it is state government or medicine, Little Rock's suburbs: Benton for schools, Cabot for value, Conway for the college-town feel. Fort Smith and Jonesboro are cheap regional cities with real hospitals. The Delta towns have the cheapest housing and lose people.
Does Arkansas get tornadoes?
Yes, and the season runs long. Disaster risk scores 39.6, 34% above the national average, from spring tornadoes across the center of the state, flooding on the Arkansas and the White, ice storms in the north, and the New Madrid fault under the northeast corner. Little Rock and its suburbs have taken direct hits. A safe room, a weather radio and a generator are ordinary purchases here.
Is Arkansas cheaper than Texas?
Yes on almost every line. Arkansas's cost index is 86.9 against a higher Texas figure, and property tax at 0.59% is a third of the Texas rate. Texas answers with no income tax and much higher wages, so a working household in Dallas keeps more. A retiree or remote worker on national pay keeps more in Arkansas. Texarkana lets people split the difference.
