Analysis
NAICS 6222 is the 2022 industry group for psychiatric and substance abuse hospitals, part of 622 (Hospitals).
It has only one more detailed code, 622210, which covers exactly the same activities; the definition, index entries and statistics are on that page.
By establishments it ranks 3rd of the 3 codes at this level within Hospitals, with 10% of them.
County Business Patterns counts 751 US establishments in this code in 2023, employing 232,220 people at an average annual payroll of $69,194 per employee (51st percentile of national industries). 6% of the establishments have fewer than five employees, which points to larger operations.
Between 2018 and 2023 the number of establishments grew 9% and employment fell 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.
