Analysis
NAICS 623990 is the 2022 national industry for other residential care facilities, part of 62399 (Other Residential Care Facilities). Census lists 15 example activities under it in the official index.
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.
Census lists 8 related activities that belong elsewhere, most often in 623210, 623311, 623220 and 623312. 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.
Its index entries, the activities Census uses to assign businesses to this code, include boot camps for delinquent youth, boys' and girls' residential facilities (e.g., homes…, camps, boot or disciplinary (except correctional), for… and child group foster homes, among 15 in all.
For example, residential intellectual and developmental disability facilities are classified in 623210 (Residential Intellectual and Developmental Disability Facilities) instead.
