• Percentage of population that’s white
• Whole Foods per capita
• Farmers markets per capita
• Vegan restaurants per capita
• Pottery Barns per capita
• Yoga studios per capita

Note: For the sake of getting reliable numbers, we counted places within a city’s border, as well as within a short driving distance.

All of these results are listed in a per capita basis, meaning number of stores per person in a state. Additionally, we limited the analysis to non-CDPs that have over 5,000 people.

We ranked each place with scores from 1 to 61 in each category, where 1 was the whitest.

Next, we averaged the rankings for each place to create a whiteness index.

And finally, we crowned the city with the highest whiteness index the “Whitest City In Arkansas.” We’re lookin’ at you, Mountain Home.
