Arkansas cities — momentum scores, home values & rankings

All states·Arkansas

66 Arkansas cities tracked. Sorted by composite momentum score (home prices, rent, population).

Long thesis

The pop-weighted momentum score is 67/100 with median 1-yr of +2.9%. That's broad-based strength across the state's 65 tracked cities — 7 are in the 'Hot' tier. When this many markets move together, the simplest explanation is structural demand.

Short thesis

The bear case is the boring one: the median market is fine but the cycle is real. Watch the cities at the bottom of this state's distribution as the early-warning signal.
