61161

Analysis

NAICS 61161 is the 2022 NAICS industry for fine arts schools, part of 6116 (Other Schools and Instruction).

It has only one more detailed code, 611610, which covers exactly the same activities; the definition, index entries and statistics are on that page.

County Business Patterns counts 16,284 US establishments in this code in 2023, employing 127,068 people at an average annual payroll of $19,796 per employee (1st percentile of national industries). 50% of the establishments have fewer than five employees, which is close to the national mix.

Between 2018 and 2023 the number of establishments grew 8% and employment rose 17%. 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.

By establishments it ranks 3rd of the 4 codes at this level within Other Schools and Instruction, with 27.5% of them.
