Louisville, OH in Stark County, OH
This Louisville is the Stark County, OH city about 6 miles east-northeast of Canton, OH, not the much larger Louisville in another state. All of the city's land lies in ZIP 44641, but the city covers only about 10.4% of that ZIP, so the ZIP's business counts reach well into the surrounding township and countryside.
A construction-led ZIP
ZIP 44641 counted 318 employer establishments in 2023 with 4,694 paid employees and about $198.7 million in payroll (U.S. Census Bureau, ZIP Code Business Patterns 2023). Construction led with 57 establishments, and 73.7% of those had fewer than five employees. Over half of all establishments in the ZIP (52.8%) were in that smallest size class.

What small crews may need funding for
A small contracting firm can run on a thin cushion. A single slow-paying general contractor can hold up payroll, and a truck or skid steer breakdown stops work entirely. Possible pairings are equipment financing for the machine and a line of credit or working capital for the payroll gap. The administrative and support group (31 establishments) includes cleaning and landscaping firms with the same profile: small crews and vehicles.
Average payroll per paid employee in ZIP 44641 came to about $42,337 in 2023, against about $50,799 county-wide (our arithmetic from ZBP and CBP 2023). Lower average pay does not mean weaker businesses, but it does mean smaller payroll gaps, which can shape how much an owner should ask for.
