48531

Analysis

NAICS 48531 is the 2022 NAICS industry for taxi and ridesharing services, part of 4853 (Taxi and Limousine Service).

It has only one more detailed code, 485310, which covers exactly the same activities; the definition, index entries and statistics are on that page.

By establishments it ranks 2nd of the 2 codes at this level within Taxi and Limousine Service, with 44.4% of them.

County Business Patterns counts 3,441 US establishments in this code in 2023, employing 22,790 people at an average annual payroll of $63,788 per employee (40th percentile of national industries). 79% of the establishments have fewer than five employees, which marks it as a small-business industry.

Between 2018 and 2023 the number of establishments grew 7% and employment fell 36%. 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.
