Analysis
NAICS 561613 is the 2022 national industry for armored car services, part of 56161 (Investigation, Guard, and Armored Car Services). Census lists 1 example activities under it in the official index.
County Business Patterns counts 763 US establishments in this code in 2023, employing 25,736 people at an average annual payroll of $53,063 per employee (22nd percentile of national industries). 15% of the establishments have fewer than five employees, which points to larger operations.
By establishments it ranks 3rd of the 3 codes at this level within Investigation, Guard, and Armored Car Services, with 4.8% of them.
Between 2018 and 2023 the number of establishments fell 6% and employment fell 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.
