Yavapai County ranks third in Arizona — behind Maricopa and Pinal counties — in terms of incoming investments in the county, and Yavapai County is also third highest in the state in the number of building permits issued, according to a new survey released by SmartAsset.com.
The survey from the New York-based financial technology firm looked at four factors: businesses established over a three-year period, real growth (adjusted for inflation), new building permits, and federal funding.
The county had 4 percent business growth, $669 million in gross domestic product growth, 13.9 new building permits per 1,000 homes and $177 in federal funding per capita for an incoming investment index of 41.1; number one Maricopa County was at 53.45, and number two Pinal came in at 42.74.
