How to read the numbers

Counts cover business locations with paid employees, in 2023. Self-employed owners aren't included, so every count is a minimum.
Counts under 3 aren't published for a ZIP and business type, so "fewer than 3 recorded" can mean one, two, or none.
"Most crowded" ranks ZIPs with at least 2,000 households by businesses per 1,000 households. Downtowns and shopping districts rank high because they serve workers and visitors as well as residents.
The metro is the Salt Lake City-Murray, UT metropolitan area. A ZIP counts toward it when most of its land is in one of the metro's counties.
