Marion, 2020 to 2025

Every annual estimate since 2020 has been higher than the year before: 1,047 in 2020, then 1,052 in 2021, 1,066 in 2022, 1,080 in 2023, 1,096 in 2024, 1,101 in 2025. Statewide, the change was +8.8%.

Seasons in Marion, and what they do to your website

The nearest NOAA station with 1991-2020 climate normals, Braunfels, is 6.1 miles from Marion. It records an average high of 95°F in August and an average low of 37°F in January. Precipitation totals about 34 inches a year, with May the wettest month. Freezing nights (32°F or below) come about 32 times a year.

Small business websites in Marion: the local business mix

The Census counted 119 establishments with employees in 2023 in ZIP code 78124, which includes Marion and its surroundings. A few examples from the same count:

• Site preparation contractors: 5. Their website should show the equipment you run, the kinds of jobs you take and a contact form for builders and owners.
• Auto repair shops: 3. Their website should show the services you do, the makes you work on, your hours and a form to request an appointment.
• Insurance agencies: 3. Their website should show the lines of insurance you write, the carriers you represent and a quote form.

In Guadalupe County, the Census counted 2,768 businesses with employees and 16,001 without a payroll in 2023; the second group is where a simple, affordable website changes the most. By number of employer establishments, construction leads in Guadalupe County (14.1%), followed by retail trade (11.4%) and other services (repair, personal care, organizations) (10.2%). Most of these businesses are small, and the website does the job a front desk would do in a bigger company.
