What the table says

Reading this table

The top 10% of businesses earn about 79% of all industry revenue, and the top 1% alone earns about a third. Below the 20th percentile, nearly every business is a solo operator with no payroll. A company doing $500K is already in the top 9%.

How these figures were built

Business counts and solo-operator receipts come from U.S. Census 2023 data. Employer revenue is modeled and checked against the LM150. These are estimates, not published percentiles; the top 2% is the least precise.

Key idea: Crossing $1M in revenue puts a landscape company in the top 5% of its industry.
