87.5 per cent of operators in Lee 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.

Lee County, FL has 2.79 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.

What does the for-hire workforce in Lee County, FL cost?

Annual payroll works out at about $27,260 per employee across the sector in Lee County, FL.

Is there room for another taxi operator in Lee County, FL?
