Phoenix received 1,242, about three times as many as Tucson (410), the second city. But Phoenix is only part of the metro: the nine other Valley cities in the table — Mesa, Scottsdale, Tempe, Glendale, Chandler, Gilbert, Peoria, Surprise and Goodyear — received 1,694 together, more than Phoenix itself. The highest rates are in the West Valley: Surprise (20.1), Goodyear (16.8) and Peoria (15.4) new per 1,000 records. The lowest are in Lake Havasu City (9.1), Prescott (9.4) and Scottsdale (9.8).
Which sectors are opening in Arizona?

|---|---|---|---|
| Dentists and dental clinics | 173 | 5,806 | 29.8 |
| Restaurants | 134 | 13,299 | 10.1 |
| Hair and beauty salons | 100 | 11,986 | 8.3 |
| Auto repair shops | 83 | 8,085 | 10.3 |
| Real estate agencies | 54 | 15,601 | 3.5 |
| Construction companies | 43 | 8,135 | 5.3 |
| Cafés | 39 | 2,399 | 16.3 |
| Gyms and fitness studios | 27 | 1,808 | 14.9 |

| Pharmacies | 6 | 1,604 | 3.7 |
Dentists and dental clinics top the list with 173 new records, 39 more than restaurants (134), and at 29.8 per 1,000 they also have the highest rate of any Arizona sector. No state in this month’s twelve-state series received more new dental records; Georgia came closest (147), from a larger dental base (8,428 records against Arizona’s 5,806). Read the figure with care: several dentists at one practice can each have a record — across 35 countries, 13.5% of new dental records share a phone number with another new record — and a group that opens several offices adds one record per office. Restaurants (10.1 per 1,000) and gyms and fitness studios (14.9) also have the highest rates for their sectors in the series.
Arizona and its neighbors
| State | New records | All records in our database | New per 1,000 records | Rank by new records |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| California | 29,846 | 2,511,088 | 11.9 | 1st |

California received about six times as many as Arizona. Nevada received about half as many (2,635) but has the higher rate: 14.0 per 1,000, 2nd of the 50 states and D.C.. Colorado, which meets Arizona at the Four Corners, received 150 more.
Selling to new Arizona businesses
- Start with Maricopa County. It takes in Phoenix and the Valley, from Surprise and Goodyear in the west to Mesa and Gilbert in the east — ten of the 15 cities in the table. Pima County is Tucson; Yuma, Flagstaff (Coconino County), Prescott (Yavapai County) and Lake Havasu City (Mohave County) are trips of their own.
- Dental suppliers. 173 new dental records in a month — equipment, imaging, supplies, practice software and insurance. Check the phone numbers before you count practices. The sector across countries: new dental practices.
- Restaurants and gyms. 134 restaurants, 39 cafés and 27 gyms and fitness studios — food and beverage suppliers, fitness equipment, card terminals: new gyms and fitness studios.
- Web design leads. Yuma has the largest share of records with a phone but no website information in the table (31.1%), Goodyear the smallest (17.2%).
How to pull the Arizona list
- Location: United States, State: Arizona, then a county — Maricopa for the Phoenix area, Pima for Tucson.
- Section and category: newly opened businesses (the last 30 days, updated daily), then a sector or a narrower category. Categories are each record’s own and are not merged: “dentist” and “pediatric dentist” are separate choices.
- Reach: Phone — has, for a call list; Website — none, for web design prospects.
- Count, open, watch: search and counts are free on every plan; a credit is spent only when you first open a record, and an export counts as an open (pricing). Save the search and new matches arrive by email every day.
