Which local services is Scott County, IN short of?

2 home-service categories, each counted per 10,000 residents and compared against the national rate. 1 has fewer businesses per resident than the country average; 1 has more. Counts include sole proprietors.

• Cleaning Services3 with employees + 39 without = 42 · 17.1 per 10k vs 32.7 nationally
  1.9× fewerFewer than average
• Landscaping & Lawn Care12 with employees + 40 without = 52 · 21.1 per 10k vs 18.2 nationally
  1.2× moreMore 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.
