Financial Stress · Arkansas

Arkansas — financial stress by county

The Financial Stress Index (FSI) combines renter cost burden, eviction rate, and debt in collections into a 0–100 score. 3 of 75 Arkansas counties have all three inputs and receive a score. Because 72 counties are missing eviction data, no state-wide average is shown here — averaging across the reporting subset would be misleading. Craighead, AR has the highest score at 59.
