Erie County, NY has 39 taxi and limousine businesses in the 2023 County Business Patterns, employing about 280 people — 29 in taxi and ridesharing services and 10 in limousine service.
A market of this size is big enough that customers have alternatives and small enough that reputation travels quickly.
64.1 per cent of operators in Erie County, NY 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.
The full distribution: 25 with 1-4 employees, 7 with 5-9 employees and 5 with 20-49 employees.
Erie County, NY has 4.10 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 York the median is 5.96 per 100,000, so this county is thinner than its state norm.
Annual payroll works out at about $72,936 per employee across the sector in Erie County, NY.
That level of payroll means labour, not vehicles, is the dominant cost — so utilisation per paid hour is the number worth managing.
