ZIP 38358 in numbers
Milan is in Gibson County, outside Madison County. Its ZIP, 38358, covers much more land than the city, which is about 10.8 percent of the ZIP (U.S. Census Bureau, 2020 ZIP Code Tabulation Area to place relationship file). In 2023 the ZIP had 305 employer establishments, 5,381 paid employees and about $240.1 million in annual payroll; 46.6 percent of its employers had fewer than five employees (U.S. Census Bureau, ZIP Code Business Patterns 2023).
| Sector | Establishments | Fewer than 5 employees |
|---|---|---|
| Retail trade | 57 | 52.6% |
| Health care and social assistance | 35 | 40.0% |
| Construction | 34 | 41.2% |
| Other services | 32 | 62.5% |
| Accommodation and food services | 31 | 25.8% |
| Finance and insurance | 23 | 73.9% |

Same number of employers as Humboldt, TN, but bigger payrolls
Milan's ZIP and Humboldt's ZIP 38343 each had 305 employer establishments in 2023, but Milan's reported 5,381 paid employees against Humboldt's 3,413 (U.S. Census Bureau, ZIP Code Business Patterns 2023). Dividing one by the other, that is roughly 18 employees per establishment in ZIP 38358 against roughly 11 in ZIP 38343, a calculation of ours from the Census counts. Its construction employers are less often tiny too: 41.2 percent had fewer than five employees, against 70.8 percent in Humboldt's ZIP (same source).
Larger employers tend to bring different funding questions: payroll that is a bigger fixed cost each period, larger equipment purchases, and projects such as an added location that suit a term loan rather than short-term money.
Practices and clinics
Health care and social assistance was the second-largest sector in the ZIP, with 35 employer establishments. For a practice, the common requests are clinical equipment, fit-outs and working capital while insurance claims are paid. Medical and dental practice financing explains how partners look at practices, including the role of equipment quotes and payer mix.
Self-employment, with its margin
About 11.3 percent of employed Milan residents were self-employed, with a margin of error of 5.4 points (U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey 2020-2024 5-year estimates). That range, roughly 5.9 to 16.7 percent, overlaps the Tennessee figure of 9.8 percent, so the data does not set Milan apart from the state.
