The customers behind the numbers in Salem

Richardson County: 7,530 residents (2025) in 9 incorporated places. Census estimates for a village this size carry a wide margin of error, so the county is the better guide: the median household income is $60,108 and the median age is 47.3. Broadband reaches 83.8% of homes, and 8.3% of households are online only through a phone plan. Homeowners are 77.3% of households.

The Salem business count, sector by sector

Richardson County has, among its employer businesses:

• 5 plumbing, heating and air-conditioning contractors: maintenance plans, the brands you service and a request form that works on a phone.
• 8 insurance agencies: the lines you write (auto, home, business, life), the carriers you work with and a quote request form.
• 8 full-service restaurants: the menu, hours, location and photos of the food, easy to read on a phone.

County-wide, Richardson County counts 250 businesses with employees and 595 self-employed or nonemployer businesses (2023). Compared with the U.S. as a whole, Richardson County leans toward nondurable goods wholesalers (20 establishments, about six times the national share). For them, restaurants, shops and institutions order by catalog, and the website should show the catalog, delivery routes and how to become a customer.
