Analysis
NAICS 624190 is the 2022 national industry for other individual and family services, part of 62419 (Other Individual and Family Services). Census lists 32 example activities under it in the official index.
Between 2018 and 2023 the number of establishments grew 27% and employment rose 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.
County Business Patterns counts 37,716 US establishments in this code in 2023, employing 463,601 people at an average annual payroll of $44,839 per employee (13th percentile of national industries). 58% of the establishments have fewer than five employees, which is close to the national mix.
Census lists 6 related activities that belong elsewhere, most often in 621330, 624110, 624410 and 624120. 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 alcoholism and drug addiction self-help organizations, alcoholism counseling (except medical treatment)…, alcoholism self-help organizations and community action service agencies, among 32 in all.
For example, providing clinical psychological and psychiatric counseling services (except by offices of physicians) are classified in 621330 (Offices of Mental Health Practitioners (except Physicians)) instead.
