Analysis
NAICS 53212 is the 2022 NAICS industry for truck, utility trailer, and rv (recreational vehicle) rental and leasing, part of 5321 (Automotive Equipment Rental and Leasing).
It has only one more detailed code, 532120, which covers exactly the same activities; the definition, index entries and statistics are on that page.
County Business Patterns counts 6,386 US establishments in this code in 2023, employing 81,850 people at an average annual payroll of $62,800 per employee (39th percentile of national industries). 44% of the establishments have fewer than five employees, which is close to the national mix.
By establishments it ranks 2nd of the 2 codes at this level within Automotive Equipment Rental and Leasing, with 38.8% of them.
Between 2018 and 2023 the number of establishments grew 7% and employment rose 19%. 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.
