Source: U.S. Census Bureau, County Business Patterns and ZIP Code Business Patterns, 2018 and 2023. Establishments are business locations with paid employees (no sole proprietors, no government). Counts are as of mid-March of each year. Employment and payroll include Census noise to protect individual firms; establishment counts do not. Tenant types are matched across the NAICS 2017 and 2022 code editions. ZIP totals cover ZIP codes mostly inside Benton and Washington counties. Market commentary, not advice.
