Which local services is Latah County, ID short of?

2 home-service categories, each counted per 10,000 residents and compared against the national rate. 2 have fewer businesses per resident than the country average; 0 have more. Counts include sole proprietors.

• Cleaning Services10 with employees + 98 without = 108 · 25.9 per 10k vs 32.7 nationally
  1.3× fewerFewer than average

What this doesn't tell you: These counts measure how many businesses exist, not how many customers want one. Fewer of something can mean an opening — or that there is less local demand for it. Treat a low number as a lead to check, not a verdict.
