Northwest Arkansas added about 8,300 jobs last year, but its residents are still struggling to buy a home, with the median price up 65% since 2020. Why it matters: After years of soaring home prices, Northwest Arkansas is showing signs of relief for buyers. But homes remain expensive and rents continue climbing. Driving the news: The Northwest Arkansas Council and the University of Arkansas released their annual State of the Region report Friday, showing continued growth alongside persistent affordability challenges. By the numbers: Northwest Arkansas, including Benton, Washington and Madison counties, added a net of about 8,300 new jobs in 2025 and saw average annual wages increase by 2.8% to $61,240. Meanwhile, the unemployment rate increased from 2.8% to 3.3%, still below the national rate. The population grew 2.4%, from about 607,400 in 2024 to 622,200 in 2025. State of play: Professional and business services saw the most employment growth from 2024 to 2025, followed by construction, leisure and hospitality, and education and health services, according to Mervin Jebaraj, director at the Walton College's Center for Business and Economic Research, who shared the data and discussed the report at an event Friday.
