Behind the 87.0: What Arapahoe County Offers a Writer
Local Content Opportunity Index
87.0/ 100
Ranks 17 of 1,822 counties of 20,000+ people, 16 of the 400 markets here. Higher means more to write about and more research-minded buyers. See the formula
LCOI, our content index, gives each county a score out of 100 on how much material a business can draw on plus how many of its buyers do homework first. Seven categories whose buyers read first, towns, business growth, income and new-home permits all feed it. Arapahoe County scores 87.0, among the highest-scoring markets in the country.
The score leans on 73.7% small-team locations among research-heavy trades and on 47.9 research-heavy locations per 10,000 residents. Every tile below sets one number against the other counties we rank. This is where we begin on local content for Arapahoe County businesses.

The writing brief
A Writing Plan Built Around Arapahoe County's Numbers
73.7% of Arapahoe County's 3,141 research-heavy locations have fewer than five employees, above 86% of counties. Teams that small are busy serving clients, and a blog is the first thing to slip, so a business that publishes steadily stands out against owner-operators who rarely update their sites.
Beyond that, two details matter. Research-heavy businesses are dense here, 47.9 per 10,000 residents, above 97% of counties. Households earn $97,560 at the median, higher than in 92% of counties. The first pieces matter less than the habit of publishing on a schedule.
Arapahoe County has 656,061 residents, 109th among 3,143 counties. 20,149 employer locations, 307.1 for every 1,000 people, supply 307,086 jobs, and household income at the median is $97,560. One more group is easy to miss: 99,181 residents, 15% of the county, live outside any named place and tend to search by road or neighborhood, not by town.
Counting the work
A Year of Writing Set Against Arapahoe County's Town List
Say a Arapahoe County business sells three services and wants each one on its own page in each of the 8 places above 2,500 residents: a grid of 24 pages. Each plan's build time for that grid is in the table.
| Option | Fee | RankGuarantee™ pages a month | Months for the full grid | Assets written over a year |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Silver | $1,495 | 25 | 1.0 months | 48 (6.0 per place) |
| Gold | $2,495 | 50 | 0.5 months | 96 (12.0 per place) |
| Platinum | $3,495 | 100 | 0.2 months | 144 (18.0 per place) |
Three services per large place is an assumption. Volumes come from the plan details on our pricing page.
Three services is an example, not a quote; the months are build time and not results. The last column counts assets, which are written one at a time.
The field
The Research-Heavy Field in Arapahoe County, Category by Category
3,141 employer locations ordered by density against the typical county. The final column picks out teams with fewer than five staff, the ones with the least time to spare.
Bars show locations per 10,000 residents as a multiple of the median county, with the tick at 1.0x. County Business Patterns data, 2017 to 2022, which says nothing about web activity. See the method
Real estate agents and brokers lead the table: 782 locations, 4.8x the median county, up 31.4% since 2017. Their customers go looking for how offers and counteroffers work, how to read a market report and what inspections turn up. It is also the fastest-growing category. Next in density: accounting and CPA firms at 2.8x.
Only insurance agencies shrank. Real estate agents and brokers have the most one-room operations, 752 of 782. In all seven categories together, 73.7% of locations have fewer than five employees.
This table counts businesses, not what any of them publishes, so read it as context, not prediction.
