Analysis
NAICS 44411 is the 2022 NAICS industry for home centers, part of 4441 (Building Material and Supplies Dealers).
It has only one more detailed code, 444110, which covers exactly the same activities; the definition, index entries and statistics are on that page.
County Business Patterns counts 5,834 US establishments in this code in 2023, employing 774,888 people at an average annual payroll of $30,041 per employee (4th percentile of national industries). 12% of the establishments have fewer than five employees, which points to larger operations.
By establishments it ranks 2nd of the 2 codes at this level within Building Material and Supplies Dealers, with 10.5% of them.
Between 2018 and 2023 the number of establishments fell 2% and employment rose 5%. 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.
