How St. Joseph County Scores on Five Measures
Local Ad Reseller Index
59.6/ 100
Rank 637 among the 1,822 counties with a population of 20,000 or higher, and 337 among the 400 markets covered here. A higher score means a deeper, larger-firm, faster-growing advertiser pool to resell into. How the score is built
The Local Ad Reseller Index (LARI) rates each county on a 0 to 100 scale for how much paid-search work an agency could resell there. It weighs how many local advertisers there are for each resident, how many have 10 or more employees, how fast the pool has grown, what households earn and how many towns there are to approach. St. Joseph County lands at 59.6, which is about average nationally.
Two other traits shape St. Joseph County: the county is rich in advertisers with 10 or more employees, and it is slow to add new advertisers. The bars place each measure within that field of counties.
