This ground was mapped A ("Best") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Little Rock.

Nationally it ranks #67,219 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Social vulnerability reads 1.1/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Rent consumes only 15% of average household income of $92,019, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.
