Ooltewah, TN Sits in Hamilton County, TN
Ooltewah is a census-designated place, a Census statistical area rather than an incorporated town, in Hamilton County, Tennessee. Bradley County figures on our other pages do not describe it. The community covers only about 1.0 percent of the land in ZIP 37363, which reaches well beyond it (Census 2020 ZCTA-to-place relationship file, U.S. Census Bureau), so every number below carries the ZIP label.
ZIP 37363 by the numbers
Its 661 employer establishments in 2023 paid about $413.9 million to 10,435 employees over the year (U.S. Census Bureau, ZIP Code Business Patterns 2023). Just over half, 53.0 percent, had fewer than five employees.
| Sector | Employer establishments | Share under five employees |
|---|---|---|
| Health care and social assistance | 84 | 48.8% |
| Other services | 74 | 59.5% |
| Retail trade | 72 | 40.3% |
| Professional, scientific and technical services | 72 | 75.0% |
| Accommodation and food services | 71 | 15.5% |
| Construction | 61 | 59.0% |
Six sectors sit within 23 establishments of each other, so no single industry defines the ZIP.
Practices and professional offices in ZIP 37363
Health care topped the ZIP's sector counts, and three quarters of its 72 professional, scientific and technical firms had fewer than five employees. Small practices and offices tend to ask for two things: equipment, such as imaging units, dental chairs or computers, and fit-out money when they move into or expand a suite. Equipment financing covers the first; a term loan usually covers the second.
Food service and stores in ZIP 37363
The 71 accommodation and food service employers were mostly larger operations: only 15.5 percent had fewer than five employees. Restaurants of that size borrow for kitchen equipment and for uneven weeks; the 72 retailers borrow for stock. Those needs fit different structures, and a partner will want to see the business's own deposits rather than ZIP figures.
