Survey says life is getting harder in Northwest Arkansas
NORTHWEST ARKANSAS, Ark. (KNWA/KFTA) — A Walton Foundation survey of 1,000 people says that quality of life has slightly dropped.
The survey done every three years, shows the quality of life has dropped for residents in Northwest Arkansas mostly due to the rising cost of living, unfavorable political climate and the perceived worsening state of the economy.
Study shows quality of life in NWA has declined from previous years
In 2018 and 2015, less than 10% of respondents said that their quality of life had dropped over the past year. In the latest survey, nearly 20% of respondents had their quality of life drop.
Some challenges that could be affecting the quality of life for residents include the lack of public transportation, affordable housing, infrastructure
and early childhood care/education, the report states.
The report states that regional characteristics can influence how residents feel about the community they live in. Those surveyed had the highest dissatisfaction with transportation options and housing options. Other regional traits that had higher rates of displeasure were infrastructure, daycare/early childhood education, healthcare facilities and services and the ability to start a business.

Alabama softball ace Jocelyn Briski is prepared for opportunity vs UCLA in WCWS

It’s win or go home for half of the Women’s College World Series field on Friday, May 29.
In the nightcap of the WCWS elimination games is No. 8 UCLA vs. No. 5 Arkansas, two teams that suffered come-from-behind wins on May 28 by Alabama and Nebraska, respectively. The Bruins couldn’t take advantage of back-to-back home runs against Jocelyn Briski in the third, eventually falling 6-3 to the top-seeded Crimson Tide.

The Razorbacks’ loss was arguably more painful (or, at least, took longer). Arkansas twice led against Nebraska and USA Softball Player of the Year Jordy Frahm, but was unable to maintain either lead before Ava Kuszak walked the Razorbacks off in the bottom of the 10th inning in the 5-3 defeat.
Now the Bruins and Razorbacks both must gear up for a second game in as many days, with their WCWS hopes on the line. Here’s how to watch as UCLA takes on Arkansas in a pivotal win-or-go-home game:
