Analysis
NAICS 6116 is the 2022 industry group for other schools and instruction, part of 611 (Educational Services). Census lists 92 example activities under it in the official index.
County Business Patterns counts 59,138 US establishments in this code in 2023, employing 503,283 people at an average annual payroll of $24,788 per employee (1st percentile of national industries). 55% of the establishments have fewer than five employees, which is close to the national mix.
By establishments it ranks 1st of the 7 codes at this level within Educational Services, with 50.1% of them.
Between 2018 and 2023 the number of establishments grew 11% and employment rose 10%. 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.
Across its national industries Census lists 92 index entries; typical ones are art (except commercial or graphic) instruction, academies, riding instruction, foreign language schools and academic tutoring services.
It splits into 4 more detailed codes. The largest by establishments is 61162 (Sports and Recreation Instruction) with 20,916.
