What Affects Rates in Bentonville
- May 2024 tornado cluster: Three separate tornadoes struck Benton County on May 26, 2024, including an EF-3 event that widened to over 1.5 miles as it crossed I-49 and Highway 94, destroying homes and outbuildings, and an EF-2 tornado near Highway 62 that severely damaged homes and businesses along N 13th Street.
- Multi-season hail exposure: Benton County recorded 58 hail events over the last five years, with April, May, and June representing the highest concentration but activity extending across spring and early summer.
- Median home age: Benton County's median home build year is 1998, meaning a significant portion of residential roofs installed during initial construction are now at or beyond the 25-year replacement threshold for asphalt shingles.
- Impact-rated material demand: The tornado and hail frequency in Bentonville drives higher local demand for Class 4 impact-rated shingles and wind-rated underlayment, which carry premium costs but reduce insurance premiums and claim frequency after future storms.
