Yakima County on the Six Measures Behind LROI
Local Reseller Opportunity Index
54.9/ 100
Ranks 738 out of 1,822 counties past the 20,000-resident mark, and 325 of the 400 markets on this site. A higher score means more small employers, more buyers, more towns and more income to work with. Weights and method
The Local Reseller Opportunity Index (LROI) puts a 0 to 100 score on a county as a place to resell local SEO: how many small employers there are to approach, how many of them sit in categories that buy SEO, how many towns could carry pages, how much household income is in play, how fast new employers appear and how tightly the buyer categories crowd one another. Yakima County scores 54.9, which is close to the middle.
Past the headline score, Yakima County turns out to be a large market by population, and also a county where new employer locations have been opening fast. Every tile is ranked against the full list of counties above the 20,000-resident line.
- Sites with fewer than ten workers, per 1,000 people 3 Thin supply: 40th percentile
- Core buyer-category locations per 10,000 residents 23.9 Near the middle: 43rd percentile
- Communities with over 2,500 residents 10 Long list of places: 93rd percentile
- Middle household's income (2023 est.) $67,112 Near the middle: 53rd percentile
- Employer-location change from 2017 to 2022 +4.5% Faster than the field: 61st percentile
- Average crowding percentile of the nine buyer categories 51 Near the middle: 54th percentile
- 2025 housing permits for every 10,000 people 27.1 Near the middle: 49th percentile
- Headcount movement since the 2020 count 0% Below-average pace: 37th percentile
Each bar is a percentile: the share of the 1,822 counties above 20,000 residents that sit below Yakima County on that measure. Sources: County Business Patterns (2017 and 2022) for employer locations and staff-size bands, the 2023 Census population estimates, SAIPE income estimates for 2023, and the Building Permits Survey for new homes.
Many towns, many pages
10 Towns, One Service Area
Yakima County spreads across 10 places that pass 2,500 residents (3 above 10,000), more towns than 93% of counties. Each town is its own set of search phrases, so a single client with a service van can need a page for every community it covers. A reseller whose fulfillment is built around landing pages by town has a natural fit here.
The county is big too, with 256,643 residents. Employers are multiplying: 4,765 locations in 2017, 4,978 in 2022, up 4.5%. For reseller SEO for Yakima County web designers, the practical effect is a prospecting order: home-service firms ahead of law offices and the other five groups behind them.
Yakima County has 256,643 residents, a median household income of $67,112 and 4,978 employer locations. About 76 in 100 of those locations have fewer than 10 employees, which is the size an agency most often signs.
Whoever sells SEO here is selling to owners, not to a database, so the numbers above are best read as a map of who to call and in what order.
Where to prospect
Yakima County White Label SEO: Whom to Pitch First
Not every business type is equally likely to want local SEO, and not every county has the same mix. This ranks the seven groups we track by how plentiful their small locations are in Yakima County.
| Where to prospect | Reading for this county |
|---|---|
| 1. Home services | Typical density (1.2x) across 284 locations, 246 of them under 10 staff. The count is up 26.8% since 2017. Service-area businesses like these usually want to be found in every town their trucks reach. |
| 2. Law offices | Typical density (1.2x) across 89 locations, 71 of them under 10 staff. The count has fallen 11% since 2017. Firms often want a page per practice area for each city they serve. |
| 3. Insurance and accounting firms | Typical density (0.8x) across 103 locations, 93 of them under 10 staff. The count is steady at -1.9% since 2017. Each line of coverage or service gives the agency another page to propose. |
| 4. Landscaping and cleaning firms | Typical density (0.8x) across 101 locations, 83 of them under 10 staff. The count is steady at -1.9% since 2017. Recurring services are easy to describe and easy to price at retail. |
| 5. Dental and medical practices | Typical density (0.8x) across 144 locations, 75 of them under 10 staff. The count has fallen 22.6% since 2017. Each office and each service line is its own page target. |
| 6. Real estate offices | Typical density (0.8x) across 50 locations, 49 of them under 10 staff. The count is up 38.9% since 2017. Offices sell on local knowledge, which suits pages written for each community. |
| 7. Auto repair shops | Sparse at 0.7x the typical county: 47 locations, 40 under 10 staff. The count is up 9.3% since 2017. Repair services (brakes, tires, inspections) become distinct pages. |
Ranks come from counts and density in public data and say nothing about how many owners want SEO. Ranking method
The top three client types add up to 410 locations with fewer than 10 staff in Yakima County. Home services lead because of density, not because anyone has proved they will buy, and an agency that already has a client among law offices may sensibly start there.
Town by town
Yakima County's Largest Places and Their Share of the County
Yakima County's largest cities, towns and census-designated places. Each is a group of searchers who describe where they live by name.
| Rank | City or town | Residents (2023 est.) | Percent of the county |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Yakima | 96,750 | 38% |
| 2 | Sunnyside | 16,264 | 6% |
| 3 | Grandview | 11,149 | 4% |
| 4 | Toppenish | 8,650 | 3% |
| 5 | Selah | 8,571 | 3% |
| 6 | Union Gap | 6,439 | 3% |
Estimates from the Census Bureau, covering cities, towns and census-designated places. A city shared with a neighboring county shows just its Yakima County population here.
No place dominates: Yakima is the largest at 38% of residents, and 10 places clear 2,500 (3 clear 10,000). A client wanting full coverage of Yakima County needs a long list of town pages. As a rough illustration, a client that sells six services in each of the 10 places above 2,500 residents would have 60 service-and-town combinations; the startup fee covers the design, development and optimization of up to about 1,000 landing pages per client.

Fifteen categories, biggest first. Each bracketed multiple compares Yakima County's density per 10,000 residents with the median county, where anything below 1.0x is lighter than usual. Employer locations only, from County Business Patterns for 2017 and 2022. How we count
The three largest categories by locations are restaurants (159), home remodelers (109) and law offices (89). Density is highest in home remodelers (1.4x typical) and electricians (1.2x typical), where owners can see the most neighbors. The thinnest of the sizable categories is physician practices, at 0.7x the typical county. Home remodelers grew fastest, +47.3% since 2017. The count of law offices has shrunk 11% since 2017.
Homes going up
Yakima County Builds Less Than It Did in 2021
Figures are housing units authorized for construction. Source: the Census Bureau permit survey, with a January to August comparison for this year. A permit is approval to build, not a finished home.
Permits peaked at 1,103 units in 2021 and landed at 696 in 2025, 37% lower, which is still 27.1 per 10,000 residents. January to August shows 477 units in 2026 and 508 in 2025, a -6.1% change.
Housing-linked categories here include home remodelers at 1.4x typical and electricians at 1.2x typical. Their sales cycle follows construction, which is a useful thing to bring up when pitching them.
