Analysis

NAICS 623110 is the 2022 national industry for nursing care facilities (skilled nursing facilities), part of 62311 (Nursing Care Facilities (Skilled Nursing Facilities)). Census lists 10 example activities under it in the official index.

County Business Patterns counts 18,126 US establishments in this code in 2023, employing 1,426,754 people at an average annual payroll of $44,479 per employee (12th percentile of national industries). 13% 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 assisted living facilities (without nursing facilities) for…, convalescent homes or convalescent hospitals (except…, group homes for the disabled with nursing care and homes for the aged with nursing care, among 10 in all.

For example, assisted living facilities with on-site nursing care facilities are classified in 623311 (Continuing Care Retirement Communities) instead.

Between 2018 and 2023 the number of establishments grew 5% and employment fell 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.

Census lists 2 related activities that belong elsewhere, most often in 623311 and 623220. Businesses that do several things are classified by their primary activity, the one that generates the most value, so check those boundaries before settling on this code.
