Retail, restaurant & bar, and hotel, motel & lodging

County & state

 

  • In May 2025, Cochise County’s estimated retail sales were down, while restaurant and bar and hotel/motel receipts were up compared to May 2024 (after adjusting for inflation).

  • The inflation adjustment subtracted 2.4 percentage points from May year-over-year growth rates and 2.6 percentage points for the first five months. As a result, Cochise County’s nominal retail sales growth of -1.6% in May was adjusted downward to -4.0%. For the first five months of 2025, nominal growth of 0.6% was adjusted to -2.0%. Inflation adjustments are made using CPI-U measuring the general rate of inflation.
