Pierce County, WA has 5 taxi and limousine businesses in the 2023 County Business Patterns, employing about 46 people.
The published operator base here is very small, so a single new entrant materially changes the local market.
80.0 per cent of operators in Pierce County, WA 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.
Pierce County, WA has 0.53 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 Washington the median is 0.94 per 100,000, so this county is thinner than its state norm.
Annual payroll works out at about $36,935 per employee across the sector in Pierce County, WA.
That level of payroll means labour, not vehicles, is the dominant cost — so utilisation per paid hour is the number worth managing.
