Cited average annual homeowners-insurance premiums for Arkansas statewide ranged from approximately $3,720 (Insure.com, $300,000 dwelling coverage) to approximately $4,955 (NerdWallet), with U.S. News (~$3,762) and LendingTree (~$3,902, cited ~48% above LendingTree's own national average) falling in between.

No Bentonville-Specific Premium Data Distinct From Arkansas's Own Statewide Figures
This pass did not find Bentonville-specific homeowners-insurance premium data distinct from Arkansas's own statewide figures -- this record uses the real, disclosed statewide spread instead, and readers should confirm whether Bentonville's own risk profile (tornado exposure, but no coastal or wildfire exposure) shifts a specific quote meaningfully from the statewide average.

Tornado Exposure Is a Real, Meaningful Underwriting Factor
As detailed on the flood-hurricane-risk topic page, Bentonville's real, documented tornado history is a genuine underwriting factor for Arkansas homeowners-insurance carriers broadly -- ask a specific carrier directly whether wind/hail deductibles or storm-shelter discounts apply to a target property.
Confirm Actual Insurability and a Quoted Premium for a Specific Property
This record recommends confirming actual current insurability and an ACTUAL quoted premium directly with a carrier before finalizing a Bentonville-area purchase -- the real, disclosed statewide spread ($3,720-$4,955) suggests genuinely meaningful quote-to-quote variance worth shopping directly.
