How we count
- Every business on Pindrop's map within about 12 miles of each city's center, U.S. listings only, counted on September 26, 2026. The map holds about 43 million local businesses.
- "No website" means none on record in the map data. A Facebook or Instagram page does not count as a website. Some businesses counted here do have a site we have not found yet, so treat the figures as close, not exact.
- Churches, schools, parks, government offices and other places that are not businesses are left out. Chains are included.
- Kinds of business are grouped from each listing's category. A business in more than one group is counted once, in the first that fits.
- Quote these numbers freely with the date shown and a link to this page.
