Analysis
NAICS 62412 is the 2022 NAICS industry for services for the elderly and persons with disabilities, part of 6241 (Individual and Family Services).
It has only one more detailed code, 624120, which covers exactly the same activities; the definition, index entries and statistics are on that page.
County Business Patterns counts 40,265 US establishments in this code in 2023, employing 1,527,355 people at an average annual payroll of $29,098 per employee (3rd percentile of national industries). 35% of the establishments have fewer than five employees, which is close to the national mix.
By establishments it ranks 1st of the 3 codes at this level within Individual and Family Services, with 42.7% of them.
Between 2018 and 2023 the number of establishments grew 5% and employment rose 22%. 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.
