What stands out in Bentonville

Data from Polco GPAL
Standouts compare Bentonville with communities in Arkansas or of similar population size. Surprises are where the measured figure was unusually far from what Polco's model expected. Each fact gives its year; public data runs one to two years behind.

In 2024, Bentonville's median home value was $428,500; Polco's model expected $395,171. It outperformed expectations.
