What the Census counts in Adrian

A web designer’s view of Adrian’s businesses

From the 2023 county count for Malheur County:

• Coffee shops and snack bars: 16. Their website should show the menu, hours and photos of the counter and the drinks.
• Hotels and motels: 10. Their website should show rooms, photos, location and a contact form, so travelers can compare you outside the booking apps.
• Custom home builders: 11. Their website should show floor plans and photos of homes you have built, the lots or areas you build in and a way to start a conversation.
• Dental offices: 16. Their website should show the team, the treatments in plain words and a form that sends appointment requests to your email.
• Veterinary clinics: 6. Their website should show the vets, the services, your hours and emergency instructions, plus a map to the clinic.
• Auto repair shops: 15. Their website should show certifications, warranty terms in plain words and a contact form for estimates.

Across Malheur County, County Business Patterns counted 718 employer establishments in 2023, and the Nonemployer Statistics add 1,560 businesses with no payroll, most of them self-employed owners. Compared with the U.S. as a whole, Malheur County leans toward specialty retailers (25 establishments, 2.5 times the national share). In that business, shoppers look for something specific, and the website should show what you carry, photos of the shop, hours and an online store if you ship. Next on the list: building material and garden stores, 17 of them, at 2.7 times the national share. Most of these businesses are small, and the website does the job a front desk would do in a bigger company.
