Analysis
NAICS 71395 is the 2022 NAICS industry for bowling centers, part of 7139 (Other Amusement and Recreation Industries).
It has only one more detailed code, 713950, which covers exactly the same activities; the definition, index entries and statistics are on that page.
County Business Patterns counts 3,154 US establishments in this code in 2023, employing 63,860 people at an average annual payroll of $22,130 per employee (1st percentile of national industries). 20% of the establishments have fewer than five employees, which points to larger operations.
Between 2018 and 2023 the number of establishments fell 14% and employment fell 8%. 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 5th of the 6 codes at this level within Other Amusement and Recreation Industries, with 3.9% of them.
