    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 San Antonio-New Braunfels, TX metropolitan area. A ZIP counts toward it when most of its land is in one of the metro's counties.
