Analysis
NAICS 621492 is the 2022 national industry for kidney dialysis centers, part of 62149 (Other Outpatient Care Centers). Census lists 4 example activities under it in the official index.
County Business Patterns counts 8,418 US establishments in this code in 2023, employing 137,268 people at an average annual payroll of $60,952 per employee (34th percentile of national industries). 18% of the establishments have fewer than five employees, which points to larger operations.
Its index entries, the activities Census uses to assign businesses to this code, include dialysis centers and clinics, hemodialysis centers and clinics, kidney dialysis centers and clinics and renal dialysis centers and clinics.
Between 2018 and 2023 the number of establishments grew 6% and employment rose 7%. 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 Outpatient Care Centers, with 20.3% of them.
