### [Best-performing Cities: Northwest Arkansas](https://blog.verdant-studio.com/verdant-studio-blog/best-performing-cities-northwest-arkansas)

Jun 6, 2023 1:49:01 PM

The Milken Institute recently released their [Best-Performing Cities 2023 Report](https://milkeninstitute.org/sites/default/files/2023-05/bestperformingcities2023.pdf). The Index, published annually since 1999, reflects cities’ effectiveness at leveraging their resources to promote economic growth and provide their residents with access to the essential services and infrastructure needed for success, the institute says. Its components include job creation, wage growth, and the high-tech sector’s output growth. Since 2021, the Index also includes measures of housing affordability and broadband access that reflect access to economic opportunities of cities’ residents.
