Analysis
NAICS 622110 is the 2022 national industry for general medical and surgical hospitals, part of 62211 (General Medical and Surgical Hospitals). Census lists 6 example activities under it in the official index.
County Business Patterns counts 5,777 US establishments in this code in 2023, employing 5,815,843 people at an average annual payroll of $81,223 per employee (70th percentile of national industries). 10% 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 children's hospitals, general, general medical and surgical hospitals, hospitals, general medical and surgical and hospitals, general pediatric, among 6 in all.
Between 2018 and 2023 the number of establishments grew 6% and employment rose 5%. 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.
