A 2017 economic impact analysis documented the total output of Ak-Chin Indian Community for Maricopa and Pinal Counties at nearly $475.6 million for 2016. For a tribe with a Reservation population of less than 1,200, the economic impact is immense, not only to the surrounding area, but also to the region as a whole.
