Who lives in Scranton, and what that means for your website
Osage County: 15,693 residents (2025) in 9 incorporated places.

Local competition in Scranton
Across Osage County, County Business Patterns counts, among others:
- 15 full-service restaurants: the menu, the dining room, private-event information and the hours, kept current by email.

- 9 insurance agencies: the lines of insurance you write, the carriers you represent and a quote form.
Osage County as a whole had 261 employer establishments in 2023 and another 1,037 nonemployer businesses, the one-person shops and independent contractors that often have no website at all.

Most of these businesses are small, and the website does the job a front desk would do in a bigger company.

What Kansas asks of a business with a website
Having a website brings no special license, but a few apply to most Scranton businesses:
- Kansas levies a state sales tax of 6.5% on retail sales of tangible personal property and taxable services, and cities and counties add local sales taxes on top of it. Kansas Department of Revenue
- Under the Americans with Disabilities Act, businesses open to the public must make their goods and services accessible to people with disabilities, and the Justice Department’s guidance says that includes their websites. ADA.gov guidance
