ARKANSAS AMONG LEAST RENT BURDENED STATES!
The cost of living has risen greatly over the last few years causing rent prices to slowly consume a larger percentage of a household's budget. Some tenants spend over 50% of the total household income just on rent. These are defined as "rent burdened" households.
Based on the US Census Bureau data, Arkansas comes in as the 6th LOWEST state with the percent of population that spend 50% or more of their income on rent. (Lowest states in order: SD, ND, AK, WY, & MT) Making Arkansas is among the least rent burdened states in the US, and the least burdened among states the south. Meaning, these residence have more money to put toward other expenses or activities; which is good for local economies.
