Why Little Rock homes need a local read

Little Rock is the seat of Pulaski County and lies on the south bank of the Arkansas River, where the territorial capital moved in 1821.

History: Settled in 1820; incorporated as a town in 1831 and as a city in 1835.

Housing: The Quapaw Quarter Historic District was formed in 1964 to save old homes on the east side of town, a viaduct opened the way west to Pulaski Heights (annexed in 1916), and Chenal Valley was opened to building in 1990.

Around town: Quapaw Quarter, MacArthur Park, the Governor's Mansion district, Hanger Hill, Pulaski Heights, the Central High School area and Chenal Valley.

Setting: Little Rock sits where foothills rising northwest toward the Ozark Plateau, Delta lands stretching east and rolling plains running southwest all meet.

Water, flooding and moisture in Little Rock

Water nearby: The Arkansas River lies along the city's north side, Fourche Creek and Rock Creek are creeks in the city, and Lake Maumelle supplies its drinking water.

Flood history: The Arkansas River crested at 29.71 feet at Little Rock on June 5, 2019, and floodwater backed up into tributaries including Fourche Creek.

EPA's Map of Radon Zones places Pulaski County in Zone 3 (predicted average indoor levels below 2 pCi/L). EPA notes that homes vary within any zone, so the map does not predict a single house.

When did Little Rock become a city?
The town was incorporated in 1831 and became a city in 1835. A post office named Little Rock opened in March 1820.
Where does the name Little Rock come from?
The name comes from a small rock outcrop on the south bank of the Arkansas River, which the French called le Petit Rocher. It first appeared on a map in 1799.

It crested at 29.71 feet on June 5, 2019, which was 6.71 feet above flood stage. Floodwater also backed up into Fourche Creek.
Has Little Rock had a damaging tornado recently?
A tornado hit the city on March 31, 2023. A tornado outbreak on March 1, 1997 was one of the deadliest in the state.
Why is mold such a concern in Arkansas homes?
Arkansas has hot, humid summers. NOAA's 1991-2020 normals put Little Rock's average yearly precipitation at about 50 inches and its July average temperature at about 81 F. EPA advises keeping indoor humidity below 60 percent, ideally 30 to 50 percent. Warm, damp air is why moisture problems show up in Arkansas attics, crawlspaces and bathrooms.
