What this doesn't tell you: These counts measure how many businesses exist, not how many customers want one. Census counts only establishments with paid employees, so solo operators are invisible in every row above. 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.
