Analysis
NAICS 11311 is the 2022 NAICS industry for timber tract operations, part of 1131 (Timber Tract Operations).
It has only one more detailed code, 113110, which covers exactly the same activities; the definition, index entries and statistics are on that page.
County Business Patterns counts 471 US establishments in this code in 2023, employing 3,781 people at an average annual payroll of $66,808 per employee (47th percentile of national industries). 71% of the establishments have fewer than five employees, which marks it as a small-business industry.
Between 2018 and 2023 the number of establishments fell 3% and employment rose 3%. The 2018 count used NAICS 2017, so part of a large move can come from codes being redefined rather than from businesses opening or closing.
