Mixed picture. The 52/100 state average covers a wide spread: a few standout ZIP codes, a lot of middling ones. Competition runs about 0.1 businesses per ZIP. Location selection matters more here than in higher-scoring states.

Permit and licensing fees in Virginia average $2,670 per year across the cities we track. These are annual totals covering business license, health permit, and mobile vendor fees, pulled from municipal fee schedules — not estimates.
