The Hudson business count, sector by sector

ZIP code 49247, which covers Hudson and the area around it, had 104 business establishments with employees in 2023. Some of the businesses behind that number:

  • Funeral homes (3): your services explained with care, contact information and directions.
  • Chiropractic offices (4): what a first visit looks like, your hours, the insurance you accept and a way to request an appointment.
  • Full-service restaurants (10): a menu page you can update by email, your hours and a map, plus a contact form for events and large groups.
  • Remodeling contractors (4): project galleries by room, the steps of a remodel and a consultation request form.
  • Auto repair shops (3): the services you do, the makes you work on, your hours and a form to request an appointment.

Across Lenawee County, County Business Patterns counted 1,808 employer establishments in 2023, and the Nonemployer Statistics add 6,127 businesses with no payroll, most of them self-employed owners. Compared with the U.S. as a whole, Lenawee County leans toward machinery manufacturers (15 establishments, 3.4 times the national share). In that business, industrial buyers compare specifications, and the website should show product lines, specifications, service and parts contacts. Hudson’s working residents are concentrated in manufacturing (28.8%) and education, health care and social assistance (20.1%). None of them needs a complicated site; they need one that answers the customer’s first questions honestly.

Hot months, wet months: Hudson through the year

Precipitation totals about 38 inches a year, with May the wettest month. The high reaches 90°F or more on about 19 days a year, and the low falls to freezing or below on about 148 days.
