Buying instead of renting? Arkansas's effective property tax runs about 0.62% of home value per year (≈$171/mo on the median $330,000 home). Our affordability score is rent-based, so this isn't double-counted.
A citywide number is an average. Rent, safety, and everything else vary block by block — treat these figures as a starting point and research specific neighborhoods before committing.

Data vintage: sample-approx-2024. Sources & methodology — this deployment is running the bundled sample dataset; figures are approximate.
