The Hochatown business count, sector by sector

The Census counted 283 establishments with employees in 2023 in ZIP code 74728, which includes Hochatown and its surroundings. Some of the local businesses in that count:

• 6 hotels and motels: rooms, photos, location and a contact form, so travelers can compare you outside the booking apps.
• 3 food trucks: the menu, where to find you this week and a form for private events.
• 3 sporting goods stores: the brands you carry, store hours and an online store if you want to sell beyond the counter.
• 4 home health care agencies: the services and areas you cover, how families start care and a contact form that reaches the office.

County-wide, McCurtain County counts 677 businesses with employees and 2,922 self-employed or nonemployer businesses (2023). McCurtain County has about five times the national share of hotels, inns and other lodging: 28 of them in the 2023 count. In that line of work, travelers compare rooms, rates and location, so the website should show rooms with real photos, amenities, location and how to reserve by email or through your booking channel. Banks and lenders are also overrepresented (27, 1.9 times the national share). For any of them, a clear website is the difference between being compared and being skipped.

Hochatown: the numbers behind the market

Rules that apply to a Hochatown business website

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

• Oklahoma’s state sales and use tax rate is 4.5% of gross receipts from the sale or rental of tangible personal property, and counties and municipalities add their own rates. Since August 2024, food and food ingredients are exempt from the 4.5% state rate but still subject to local rates. Oklahoma Tax Commission
• The Oklahoma data privacy act (SB 546, 2026) – no short title in the act rarely reaches a local business: Applies only to a controller or processor that conducts business in Oklahoma or produces a product or service targeted to Oklahoma residents and that, during a calendar year, either controls or processes the personal data of at least 100,000 consumers, or controls or processes the personal data of at least 25,000 consumers and derives over 50% of gross revenue from the sale of personal data. A typical small business is well below both thresholds and outside the act. NOT YET IN FORCE: effective January 1, 2027. Title 75A, Oklahoma Statutes, §§ 300 to 318 (SB 546, 2nd Session of the 60th Legislature; approved by the Governor 03/20/2026)

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