Analysis
NAICS 52213 is the 2022 NAICS industry for credit unions, part of 5221 (Depository Credit Intermediation).
It has only one more detailed code, 522130, 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 Depository Credit Intermediation, with 18% of them.
County Business Patterns counts 19,605 US establishments in this code in 2023, employing 348,545 people at an average annual payroll of $73,279 per employee (58th percentile of national industries). 27% of the establishments have fewer than five employees, which is close to the national mix.
Between 2018 and 2023 the number of establishments grew 2% and employment rose 16%. 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.
