The Foster business count, sector by sector

The Census counted 53 establishments with employees in 2023 in ZIP code 68765, which includes Foster and its surroundings. A sample of that count, and what each kind of business needs online:

• 3 insurance agencies: auto, home and business coverage on separate pages with a contact form for quotes.
• 3 quick-service restaurants: the menu with prices, hours and the closest cross streets.

County-wide, Pierce County counts 238 businesses with employees and 659 self-employed or nonemployer businesses (2023). Pierce County has about five times the national share of trucking companies: 26 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. Specialty trade contractors are also overrepresented (22, 1.5 times the national share). Every one of them is a search away from a customer in Foster.

Pierce County: 7,378 residents (2025) in 7 incorporated places.

Homeowners are 78.1% of households.
