Brazoria County as a whole had 6,650 employer establishments in 2023 and another 38,303 nonemployer businesses, the one-person shops and independent contractors that often have no website at all. Brazoria County has 2.1 times the national share of heavy and civil construction firms: 63 of them in the 2023 count. In that line of work, public agencies and developers check qualifications first, so the website should show project types, equipment, bonding and licensing information and a contact for bid invitations. Next on the list: rental and leasing businesses, 79 of them, at twice the national share. Manvel’s working residents are concentrated in education, health care and social assistance (26.8%) and retail trade (10.1%). Every one of them is a search away from a customer in Manvel.
