Chadbourn in figures

Who you compete with in Chadbourn

The Census counted 77 establishments with employees in 2023 in ZIP code 28431, which includes Chadbourn and its surroundings. Some of the local businesses in that count:

• Site preparation contractors: 3. Their website should show the equipment you run, the kinds of jobs you take and a contact form for builders and owners.
• Residential property managers: 3. Their website should show the services for owners, the areas you manage and a contact form for owners and tenants.
• Quick-service restaurants: 3. Their website should show today’s hours, the menu and photos that look like what customers get.

In Columbus County, the Census counted 997 businesses with employees and 3,575 without a payroll in 2023; the second group is where a simple, affordable website changes the most. Columbus County has twice the national share of trucking companies: 41 of them in the 2023 count. In that line of work, shippers and brokers vet carriers, so the website should show lanes and regions, equipment, authority and insurance details and a quote form. Next on the list: vehicle dealers, 29 of them, at twice the national share. Every one of them is a search away from a customer in Chadbourn.
