How big is the Equality market?

Reading the Equality customer

Veterans make up 10.2% of the civilian adult population. If you give service members or veterans any special terms, say so on the website, not only at the counter.

Gallatin County: 4,616 residents (2025) in 7 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 $59,219 and the median age is 46.7. Broadband reaches 82.3% of homes, and 15.5% of households are online only through a phone plan. Homeowners are 77.4% of households.

Customers in Junction and Eldorado will ask the same thing: do you work here? A service area page answers before they have to.

Running a website from Equality: the Illinois rules

These are some of the Illinois and federal rules a small business with a website runs into:

• Illinois taxes general merchandise at a 6.25% state Retailers’ Occupation Tax rate, with a preferential 1% rate on qualifying drugs and medical appliances; municipalities and counties add local rates. Illinois 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

This is general information, not legal advice. Your county, your village hall or an attorney can confirm what applies to you.
