What kind of businesses Percy has

Percy shares ZIP code 62272 with the surrounding area, where 20 employer businesses were counted in 2023.

In Randolph County, the Census counted 636 businesses with employees and 1,346 without a payroll in 2023; the second group is where a simple, affordable website changes the most. Compared with the U.S. as a whole, Randolph County leans toward religious, civic and membership organizations (60 establishments, 2.5 times the national share). In that business, members and newcomers look for schedules and contacts, and the website should show meeting times, programs, location and how to get involved. Percy’s working residents are concentrated in other services (8.4%) and retail trade (6.9%).

Reading the Percy customer

Randolph County had 29,921 residents in 2025 and 14 incorporated municipalities. Census estimates for a village this size carry a wide margin of error, so the county is the better guide: households have a median income of $68,131, and half the residents are older than 43.7. 86.9% of households have broadband and 19.2% rely on a cellphone data plan alone. Homeowners are 76.6% of households.

A village that keeps changing

Little has changed in the head count: 911 in 2020, 905 in 2025. The estimates peaked in 2021, at 918. The state’s figure for the same years was −0.8%. Without much growth, the customers are mostly the same people every year; the website is how they remember you.

What Illinois asks of a business with a website

Before your website goes live, it helps to have the basics of the business in order.

  • Randolph County and the Village of Percy may each charge a local business tax; ask both before you open. Official source
