311830

Analysis

NAICS 311830 is the 2022 national industry for tortilla manufacturing, part of 31183 (Tortilla Manufacturing). Census lists 1 example activities under it in the official index.

County Business Patterns counts 428 US establishments in this code in 2023, employing 21,078 people at an average annual payroll of $46,693 per employee (14th percentile of national industries). 32% of the establishments have fewer than five employees, which is close to the national mix.

Between 2018 and 2023 the number of establishments grew 15% and employment rose 2%. 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.

Census lists 3 related activities that belong elsewhere, most often in 311422, 311412 and 311919. Businesses that do several things are classified by their primary activity, the one that generates the most value, so check those boundaries before settling on this code.

For example, manufacturing canned nationality foods using tortillas are classified in 311422 (Specialty Canning) instead.
