Shelby County, TN has 5 taxi and limousine businesses in the 2023 County Business Patterns, employing about 130 people.
The published operator base here is very small, so a single new entrant materially changes the local market.
60.0 per cent of operators in Shelby County, TN employ fewer than five people, against a median of 67.1 per cent across the 348 published county markets.
The market mixes very small operators with a tier of larger ones, so the same county contains businesses with genuinely different problems — coverage at the small end, coordination at the large.
Shelby County, TN has 0.55 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 Tennessee the median is 1.63 per 100,000, so this county is thinner than its state norm.
Annual payroll works out at about $37,154 per employee across the sector in Shelby County, TN.
That level of payroll means labour, not vehicles, is the dominant cost — so utilisation per paid hour is the number worth managing.
