What the Census counts in Perdido Beach

The Perdido Beach business count, sector by sector

Perdido Beach shares ZIP code 36530 with the surrounding area, where 144 employer businesses were counted in 2023. A sample of that count, and what each kind of business needs online:

• Finish carpentry contractors: 4. Their website should show close-up photos of cabinets, trim and built-ins, and a simple form to describe the job.
• Real estate offices: 5. Their website should show the neighborhoods you know best, agent profiles and a contact form for buyers and sellers.
• Auto repair shops: 3. Their website should show the services you do, the makes you work on, hours and a form to describe the problem.

Across Baldwin County, County Business Patterns counted 6,409 employer establishments in 2023, and the Nonemployer Statistics add 24,246 businesses with no payroll, most of them self-employed owners. Baldwin County has 1.9 times the national share of clothing and accessories stores: 173 of them in the 2023 count. In that line of work, shoppers browse before they visit, so the website should show new arrivals, brands, sizes and store hours, or an online store. Real estate businesses are also overrepresented (452, 1.4 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.
