Sussex County, DE has 3 taxi and limousine businesses in the 2023 County Business Patterns, employing about 3 people.
The published operator base here is very small, so a single new entrant materially changes the local market.
100.0 per cent of operators in Sussex County, DE employ fewer than five people, against a median of 67.1 per cent across the 348 published county markets.
Nearly every operator here employs fewer than five people. That is an owner-driver market: the person taking the booking is often the person driving, so software that needs a dedicated dispatcher to sit in front of it does not fit.
Sussex County, DE has 1.11 taxi and limousine businesses per 100,000 residents, against a national median of 2.16.
Operators per head are below the national midpoint, so each business here covers more people — and usually more ground — than the typical market.
Within Delaware the median is 2.38 per 100,000, so this county is thinner than its state norm.
Annual payroll works out at about $48,333 per employee across the sector in Sussex County, DE.
That level of payroll means labour, not vehicles, is the dominant cost — so utilisation per paid hour is the number worth managing.
