For the fourth quarter of 2003, Arkansas was first out of seven regional states and outpaced the U.S. average in percent change in housing permits.
The United States Federal Reserve published the fourth quarter numbers in the April issue of The Regional Economist, a quarterly banking magazine.
The area is a regional designation of the Eighth Federal Reserve District in St. Louis.
Arkansas had an 11.2 percent increase for the fourth quarter 2003, compared to an 11.3 percent increase for the same period in 2002.
