Local Resources for Small Businesses in Northwest Arkansas (NWA)

Comprehensive Consulting Solutions for Small Businesses works with various types of small businesses in Northwest Arkansas and the River Valley. Both areas are great places to run businesses and raise families. Here are a few facts about Northwest Arkansas:

1. “October 2019 Population: 562,600 residents by the middle of the month. That's a Northwest Arkansas Council estimate that assumes the 28.5-people-a-day increase in population between the 2010 Census and the U.S. Census Bureau's population estimate of July 1, 2018 has continued. The Census Bureau estimated the July 1, 2018 population to be 549,128.

2. NWA Growth: While Northwest Arkansas is not yet a Top 100 MSA, its rate of growth from July 2010 to July 2018 was faster than 96 of the nation's 100 largest MSAs.

3. Unemployment Rate: 2.5 percent in August 2019, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Few regions in the U.S. can match the Fayetteville-Springdale-Rogers MSA when it comes to having a consistently low unemployment rate.”
