Analysis
NAICS 6211 is the 2022 industry group for offices of physicians, part of 621 (Ambulatory Health Care Services).
It has only one more detailed code, 62111, which covers exactly the same activities; the definition, index entries and statistics are on that page.
County Business Patterns counts 218,066 US establishments in this code in 2023, employing 2,771,935 people at an average annual payroll of $104,929 per employee (86th percentile of national industries). 54% 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 Ambulatory Health Care Services, with 31.1% of them.
Between 2018 and 2023 the number of establishments fell 2% and employment rose 12%. 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.
