With only a handful of operators, most local demand is met by a few known names, and word of mouth does most of the selling.
81.0 per cent of operators in Putnam County, NY employ fewer than five people, against a median of 67.1 per cent across the 348 published county markets.
Most operators employ fewer than five people, so buying decisions are made by an owner rather than a committee, and setup time matters more than configurability.
The full distribution: 17 with 1-4 employees and 3 with 5-9 employees.
Putnam County, NY has 21.34 taxi and limousine businesses per 100,000 residents, against a national median of 2.16.
Operators per head are far above the national midpoint, which is typical of counties serving an airport, a downtown core or a large visitor economy rather than only their own residents.
Within New York the median is 5.96 per 100,000, so this county is denser than its state norm.
Annual payroll works out at about $34,444 per employee across the sector in Putnam County, NY.
That level of payroll means labour, not vehicles, is the dominant cost — so utilisation per paid hour is the number worth managing.
