Analysis
NAICS 6239 is the 2022 industry group for other residential care facilities, part of 623 (Nursing and Residential Care Facilities).
It has only one more detailed code, 623990, which covers exactly the same activities; the definition, index entries and statistics are on that page.
County Business Patterns counts 5,988 US establishments in this code in 2023, employing 118,478 people at an average annual payroll of $43,624 per employee (11th percentile of national industries). 31% of the establishments have fewer than five employees, which is close to the national mix.
Between 2018 and 2023 the number of establishments grew 17% and employment fell 3%. 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 4th of the 4 codes at this level within Nursing and Residential Care Facilities, with 6.3% of them.
