What the Census counts in Kermit

Kermit’s population, year by year

Businesses in and around Kermit

The Census counted 29 establishments with employees in 2023 in ZIP code 25674, which includes Kermit and its surroundings. Some of the businesses behind that number:

• Full-service restaurants (3): the current menu with prices, hours, the address with a map and photos of real dishes.

Mingo County as a whole had 326 employer establishments in 2023 and another 869 nonemployer businesses, the one-person shops and independent contractors that often have no website at all. 18 trucking companies operate in Mingo County, 2.7 times what the national mix would predict. In that trade, shippers and brokers vet carriers; the website should give customers lanes and regions, equipment, authority and insurance details and a quote form. Religious, civic and membership organizations are also overrepresented (22, 1.8 times the national share). Each of these businesses competes for the same search: someone in Kermit typing what they need and picking from the results that look trustworthy.

Before you publish: West Virginia and federal rules

Some homework before launch:

• West Virginia’s state sales and use tax rate is 6%, and a municipality may add up to 1% more. West Virginia Tax Division
• A contact form collects personal information, and West Virginia has a data breach law with deadlines for notifying the people affected. W. Va. Code Sections 46A-2A-101 to 46A-2A-105

Rules change and details vary by business; this is general information, not legal advice.
