Miami-Dade County, FL has 71 taxi and limousine businesses in the 2023 County Business Patterns, employing about 906 people — 25 in taxi and ridesharing services and 46 in limousine service.
A market of this size is big enough that customers have alternatives and small enough that reputation travels quickly.
87.3 per cent of operators in Miami-Dade County, FL 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.
The full distribution: 62 with 1-4 employees and 4 with 10-19 employees.
Miami-Dade County, FL has 2.50 taxi and limousine businesses per 100,000 residents, against a national median of 2.16.
Operators per head are close to the national midpoint for a published county market.
Within Florida the median is 1.67 per 100,000, so this county is denser than its state norm.
Annual payroll works out at about $45,756 per employee across the sector in Miami-Dade County, FL.
That level of payroll means labour, not vehicles, is the dominant cost — so utilisation per paid hour is the number worth managing.
