By comparison, Arkansas’ cohort default rates dropped from 12.2% to 11.2%, inching closer to the national average. Five years ago, when ASLA initiated efforts to lower the state’s default rate, Arkansas ranked near the bottom of all 50 states at 49th. During that period, Arkansas’ default rate had declined from 19% in 2010 to the more manageable 12.2% in 2014.
