What the Census counts in Lawton

The Lawton business count, sector by sector

Ramsey County has, among its employer businesses:

• 8 hotels and motels: rooms, photos, location and a contact form, so travelers can compare you outside the booking apps.
• 11 insurance agencies: auto, home and business coverage on separate pages with a contact form for quotes.
• 5 site preparation contractors: the equipment you run, the kinds of jobs you take and a contact form for builders and owners.
• 6 child care centers: ages served, hours, tuition or fees and how to schedule a tour.

Across Ramsey County, County Business Patterns counted 416 employer establishments in 2023, and the Nonemployer Statistics add 874 businesses with no payroll, most of them self-employed owners. 21 nondurable goods wholesalers operate in Ramsey County, 3.5 times what the national mix would predict. In that trade, restaurants, shops and institutions order by catalog; the website should give customers the catalog, delivery routes and how to become a customer. The county also has a strong cluster of vehicle dealers (18 establishments, three times the national share). Each of these businesses competes for the same search: someone in Lawton typing what they need and picking from the results that look trustworthy.
