Analysis
NAICS 484210 is the 2022 national industry for used household and office goods moving, part of 48421 (Used Household and Office Goods Moving). Census lists 5 example activities under it in the official index.
County Business Patterns counts 9,436 US establishments in this code in 2023, employing 102,745 people at an average annual payroll of $45,637 per employee (13th percentile of national industries). 54% of the establishments have fewer than five employees, which is close to the national mix.
Between 2018 and 2023 the number of establishments grew 14% and employment rose 6%. 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.
Its index entries, the activities Census uses to assign businesses to this code, include furniture moving, used, motor freight carrier, used household goods, trucking used household, office, or institutional furniture… and used household and office goods moving, among 5 in all.
