What stands behind these Arkansas numbers

None of the 2 metros here is currently reporting from a regulatory monitor. 2 metros have no reading at all right now: Little Rock, Fayetteville.

We track 2 metropolitan areas in Arkansas, not the whole state, and none of them has its own page yet — a metro page ships only after thirty days of our own history, and that clock is running. There is no state-wide average here on purpose: averaging 2 metros into one figure would invent a value for all the ground between them. How we measure, and what we refuse to estimate →

Neighbouring states

Smoke and inversions do not stop at a state line, so when Arkansas looks wrong the answer is often next door.
