Somerset County, NJ has 15 taxi and limousine businesses in the 2023 County Business Patterns, employing about 21 people — 7 in taxi and ridesharing services and 8 in limousine service.
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.
100.0 per cent of operators in Somerset County, NJ 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.
Somerset County, NJ has 4.20 taxi and limousine businesses per 100,000 residents, against a national median of 2.16.
Operators per head sit above the national midpoint, so local demand supports more businesses than population alone would suggest.
Within New Jersey the median is 4.20 per 100,000, so this county is denser than its state norm.
Annual payroll works out at about $24,000 per employee across the sector in Somerset County, NJ.
A figure that low usually reflects heavy part-time and split-shift working rather than low hourly rates, which makes accurate shift and per-driver accounting the difference between knowing your margin and guessing it.
