What the numbers say

In 2023, Navajo County's rent was 0.3 times the Arizona average and 0.5 times the US average.
It is the 3rd lowest of the 8 Arizona counties NASS published for 2023.
From 2020 to 2023 it rose 53.7%, from $73.50 to $113 an acre.
Gaps are years with no separate Navajo figure: in 2019, 2022, 2024, 2025 and 2026 NASS combined Navajo into "other counties". Nothing is filled in.

What this measures

NASS asks farm operators what they pay in cash rent per acre, separately for irrigated cropland, non-irrigated cropland and pasture. State figures come out at the end of July; county figures follow in August. When too few farms in a county answer, NASS combines that county with others and publishes one "other counties" figure, so some counties have no figure of their own.
