re: 10,000 tickets left for Little Rock game

In 2000, the center of population was in Perry County, West of Conway. As of 2010, it was between Morrilton and Russellville (the state is still finalizing census data) -- and should be in Pope County by now, and is likely to be in Southern Johnson County, or Northern Logan County by 2020.

Why?

Because NWA and the river valley are the best places to live in Arkansas.
