Study claims Arkansas ranks 47th for taxpayer return on investment
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – A recently released study claims Arkansas provides poor value for its citizens compared to the tax money it receives.
Consumer finance site WalletHub reported Tuesday that Arkansas ranks 47 out of 50 states for taxpayers’ return on investment.
The study measured 29 metrics to measure the quality of service in education, infrastructure and pollution, economy, health and safety to arrive at the final score.
Arkansas ranked 33rd for taxes paid per capita but came in at 44 out of 50 for overall government services. That ranking came despite relatively good scores in education and infrastructure and pollution.
