EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The national economy improved in 2015. GDP increased by 2.4%, the same percentage as last year. The
national unemployment rate decreased from 6.2% in 2014 to 5.3% in 2015. The inflation rate in 2015 was .7%
down from .8% last year, measured as the rate of change of the CPI-U index of the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Negative growth in energy prices (-12.6%), apparel (-.9%) and transportation (-4.1%) held down increases
that were seen in medical care (2.6%) and other areas.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed at 17,425 on December 31st
, 2015 down from last year (17,823), for
a decrease of 2.2% for the year. The market has more than doubled in value (103%) from the recession low
when the Dow dropped to $8776 at the end of 2009. It has fully recovered and is 31.4 percent above the pre-
recession high of $13,264 in 2008. The six straight years of gain was recently interrupted by a correction of
3.3% as of March 1, 2016. Today, the average for the S&P 500 is approximately 22 times earnings. (WSJ 2-26-
16)
Conway, Arkansas’ economy was even better. Conway’s unemployment rate was at the lowest rate in 7 years
at 4.7%, down from 5.8% in 2014. Faulkner County’s unemployment rate for 2015 was 5.0% compared to the
Arkansas rate of 5.3% and the national rate of 5.3%. The number of building permits issued in Conway was
down 27% in 2015, and no multi-family units were constructed. Nevertheless, real estate sales increased 14%
from last year based on revenue stamps sold on real estate transfers. The value of building permits declined
18%.
Data from Metroplan places Conway’s population at 64,313 and the county at 121,536, an increase of 2% for
the city and a decrease of .7% for the county.
The cost of living in Conway is only 96% of the U.S. average (of 100) according to ACCRA data. This is lower
than in Little Rock (96. 4%). This is particularly pronounced in housing as Conway housing costs were only
81.7% of national housing costs in 2014. Real property tax assessment increased by 42 million dollars, or 3%.
Of that personal property was down by 2 million dollars, or 1.2 %.
Violent crimes in Conway were 257 in 2014, up 7.5% from 239 in 2013, still approximately 4 crimes per
thousand population in 2014. Property crimes in Conway were up 8.4% from the previous year to 3,008 from
2,774, or approximately 46 crimes per thousand, compared to 43 per thousand last year. Comparable figures
for Little Rock are 14 per thousand and 72 per thousand.
i

County Sales tax receipts of ½ percent were almost 9 million dollars, an increase of 2.0% over last year.
Conway sales tax receipts of 1% were nearly 24 million dollars, an increase of 2.6% over last year. Most of
the estimated retail sales in the county were made in Conway, 80.3%, the next largest shopping hub was
Greenbrier at 6%.
Restaurant and hotel sales were estimated from the Advertising and Promotion Tax of 2% on restaurant and
hotel sales (net of alcoholic beverages). Estimated restaurant sales were 173 million dollars and estimated
hotel sales were 18 million dollars.
Deposits at Faulkner County banking institutions increased by 41 billion to 1.8 trillion dollars. The ROA on
local banks averaged 1.20 and the ROE was 9.63, down slightly from 2014. Individual bank statistics are found
on page 13.
A severance tax is collected on wellhead production market value of natural gas produced in the state. It
varies from 1.25% to 5% depending on the classification of the well. Approximately 15% of the tax collected
goes to incorporated cities in the state based on population and another 15% to counties based on several
factors including the population and miles of roads in the county. The revenue is designated from
transportation including road construction and maintenance. Because of the plummeting prices of natural gas
there has not been the anticipated growth in this revenue and gas producers have also reduced their drilling
activities. Faulkner County and municipalities in the county received 537,831 from this tax in 2015 down 28%
from $750,000 received in 2014.
The Fayetteville Shale play in the county had more wells actively producing in 2015 (439) than in 2014 (399)
and the amount of gas production in cubic feel increased by approximately 50%. The Arkansas Scholarship
Lottery began October 2009. Annual sales for 2011 were the highest at $475 million and have declined each
year since. The 2015 sales of 423 million is 11% lower than for 2011. Lottery ticket sales by county are given
on page 21. Faulkner County ranks 5th
from the highest in overall sales, but 52nd
in sales per capita and 58% in
sales per capita income.
The number of firms employing workers in Faulkner County has grown modestly the last few years while the
number of workers has decreased. During the last three years, 2012 through 2014, the number of firms
increased by 54 from 2793 to 2847, while the number of employees has decreased by 1863 from 40,686 to
38,823. Average weekly earnings decreased from $697 to $678 during the same period.
ii

Professional and business services had the greatest job gain, 564 from 5433 to 5997. State and local
government had the largest decline of 1760 jobs (3rd quarter 2014 data).
Due to extraordinarily bad weather in 2015, gross agricultural production in the county was down by
approximately 90% in rice, corn and wheat. Gross soybean production was down by approximately 50%.
Prolonged spring flooding lasted two months in May and June, and returned in December of 2015.
Tourism showed strong growth from 2014. Total travel expenditure was up 5.16% for Faulkner County and
6.88 % for the state. The number employed in tourism in the county increased 1.73% with the payroll
increasing by 5.22% for the county and 6.88% for the state.

History of the Annual Economic Report of Faulkner County
This year marks the 65th
annual presentation to the Conway Rotary Club of the Faulkner County Annual
Economic Report. Thomas Wilson, CEO of First State Bank and Trust, made the first presentation in 1952 and
continued it for 35 years until 1986. Dr. Morris Lamberson, Professor of Business at the University of Central
Arkansas, continued the report for 9 years. In 1995, Dr. Roger Lewis, then Director of Institutional Research at
UCA, presented the report. Dr. Lewis retired from UCA but has continued the report with the support of UCA’s
College of Business and the assistance of student interns for the last ten years. Last year was Dr. Lewis’ twenty-
first presentation. This year (calendar 2016) Dr. Pat Cantrell will begin giving the presentation. The Faulkner
County Annual Economic Report has become a featured program for the Conway Rotary Club and attracts
many guests.

1. Because of changes in the state/local agency's reporting practices, figures are not comparable to previous years' data.
2. Populations are U.S. Census Bureau provisional estimates as of July 1, 2008 and July 1 2009.
3. The Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) definition of forcible Rape has changed for 2013.Previously, offense data for forcible rape was collected under the legacy UCR
definition: the carnal knowledge of a female forcibly and against her will. Beginning with the 2013 data year, the term “forcible” was removed from the offense title,
and the definition was changed. The revised UCR definition of Rape is: Penetration, no matter how slight, of the vagina or anus with any body part or object, or oral
penetration by a sex organ of another person, without the consent of the victim. Attempts or assaults to commit rape are also included; however, statutory rape and
incest are excluded.
4. The FBI determined that the agency's data were over reported. Consequently, those data are not included in this table.

1. This data is the sales tax receipts that each entity receives and differs from the actual collections. The sales
tax is collected by the state and distributed to the various municipal entities. The state retains about three
percent for administration and adjustments. Also the distributions lag two months from collections.
For example, the amount that municipality receives in January is actually the tax collected for sales in
November.

in the state for beef cattle production. Herds were liquidated due to drought in 2012 and are slowly being rebuilt.
*** Only two commercial Dairy exists in Faulkner County in 2014
COMMENTS:
2014 was a remarkable year in terms of weather. July was extremely mild and wet. Pastures were in extremely good shape for most of the growing season. Some farmers simply
quit baling hay because their barns were full. Beef cattle producers are slowly trying to rebuild their herd as a result of the 2012 drought and liquidation. Beef cattle prices were
very good throughout much of the year. Grain prices were affected by an exceptionally large crop in the mid-west. Arkansas set a state wide soybean yield with an average of 50 bu/a.
