Mountain Home, AR, United StatesCapital City
Follows United States Residency Rules. Check Digital Nomad & Retiree Pathways →
With a population of just 12,825, Mountain Home is a sleepy Ozark outpost where retirees outnumber young families. The median household income is a meager $26,869, and nearly 1 in 10 residents live below the poverty line. While the city's proximity to lakes and rivers makes it a fishing mecca, the local bureaucracy can be a persistent headache - residents narrowly voted to build a new courthouse in the 1940s despite vocal opposition. Overall, Mountain Home seems best suited for budget-conscious retirees seeking a quiet, rural lifestyle.
