With the second lowest median household income in the whole country, it's not really a huge surprise that Arkansas has an issue with violent crime. We've seen time and time again that low incomes tend to correlate with higher rates of violence. In the case of Arkansas, it has the sixth highest violent crime rate in the country, at 521 incidents per 100,000 people. With the national average sitting at 373 incidents, this is well above the norm.
