📝 How we sourced this

Population, income, and housing-cost figures come from the U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey 5-year estimates (B-series tables). Crime data uses FBI UCR; climate uses NOAA Climate Normals; school counts come from NCES Common Core of Data; permits use the Census Building Permits Survey (BPS). See our methodology page for the full ETL pipeline and OMB / FIPS join keys.

Data Snapshot: Haskell, AR

Haskell is a small town in Arkansas, home to 4,035 residents per U.S. Census Bureau ACS 2023 estimates. Median household income here is $92,061 per year, above the median for U.S. cities on this measure, with a poverty rate of 1.9%. Typical homes in Haskell are valued around $158,000, and the median resident age is 35.5 years. Educational attainment runs 22.3% of adults with a bachelor's degree or higher. Separately, 63.2% of working-age residents are in the labor force.

Housing supply pressure shows in Census Building Permit Survey data: 14 residential units were authorized in 2024 (Rapid Growth), up 27% from five years earlier. Haskell reports a comparatively low crime rate: the FBI's Uniform Crime Reporting program logs 715.5 total incidents per 100,000 residents here, below the national average (agency reporting is voluntary, so this measures reporting activity, not a definitive danger score).

Living costs in Arkansas run below the national norm: on BEA's 100-equals-national-average cost index, Arkansas scores 86.9 (Well Below Average), per the 2024 Regional Price Parities release. HUD Fair Market Rent for a typical two-bedroom in this state is $1,147 per month. Statewide, average monthly utility bills in Arkansas run around $210, per EIA 2023 residential energy data. On FEMA's National Risk Index, this area rates 77.6 out of 100 for natural-hazard exposure (High).

How does Haskell compare to other US cities?

Haskell measured against every US city with 1,000+ residents, computed live from the same Census and FBI data shown throughout this page.

Household income 72% higher than other cities
Home value 29% pricier than other cities
Median rent 32% pricier than other cities
Safety 76% safer than other cities

"Safer than" reflects total crime rate from FBI UCR; the others use Census ACS estimates.

A national percentile can hide a lot of local variation: narrowed to Arkansas alone, Haskell ranks #21 of 160 Arkansas cities by lowest crime rate - a different, more locally useful comparison than stacking it against the entire country.

How we calculate these percentiles & ranks

Each percentile compares Haskell against every qualifying US city; each in-state rank narrows that to Arkansas only. Full formula and direction notes: methodology.

Arkansas-relative analysis

Poverty Rate places Haskell toward the bottom of Arkansas's cities

Among the 524 Arkansas cities PlainCities tracks with reported poverty rate data, Haskell ranks #453 - the 13th percentile within the state. This is a different, narrower cut than the nationwide percentiles above: it compares Haskell only against its own state's cities, not the full US field.

Income distribution context

Household income distribution - Haskell, AR Haskell, AR's reported median household income shown against the U.S. national quintile-share pattern (not Haskell, AR-specific quintile data).
